Does a solar submersible water pump qualify for the residential tax credit?

Yes, if it's an ENERGY STAR certified solar submersible water pump. You should contact whoever sold you the pump. They will know if it qualifies for the energy credit. Generally, you receive an ENERGY STAR certificate from the manufacturer.

You may try and find your product on the ENERGY STAR list. Click here and select the product from the list on the left side menu. If your product is not listed, then it doesn't qualify for the credit.

A submersible water pump is for a well. The link you sent is for solar water heaters.

If it's an ENERGY STAR certified solar submersible pump, it qualifies for the credit.

Where do I enter qualified energy-saving improvements?
