The solar credit is a non-refundable credit. This means that the credit will help reduce your 2020 tax liability. Once your tax liability has been reduced to zero, any excess credit will not be refunded to you, but will be carried over to future years. So in the future, it will help reduce your tax liability until exhausted.
