Depreciating solar panels on rental home

[dcortez]

Another good question.  Hopefully someone out there can answer is solar panels and storage batteries cost over $30,000 or even more, are "personal property" or "real property".  They are attached to the house and interconnected.  Don't think you can take them with you when you sell.

Any item that is intended to be permanently attached, and is so attached, becomes a real estate fixture (i.e., real property rather than personal property). 

Severance of the fixture transforms real property into personalty.
