It depends.

If the water heater is a solar water heater, you could claim a federal tax credit under the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit.

Please see the attached link for more information.

You will be able to make your entries into the program if the credit applies to you by following the steps in the link below.

If I replace only my solar water heater (and pump and controller) but retain my existing roof solar panel, do I still qualify for the federal solar water heater tax credit (26%)?
Also, how do I obtain the solar verification for my property?
Thanks.
