Can I depreciate solar panel on a rental home?

[Critter]

Of course ... as an improvement like a new roof over 27.5 years

I have seen solar panels elsewhere described as 5 year properties, and am trying to find the very same answer for myself. So far I have found conflicting info, and IRS pubs of no help...
