Velux skylights

I also installed 2 new Velux skylights in 2025. Model FCM 2246 with solar room darking shades.  It states it is energy efficient and should qualify for tax deductions but Velux doesn't provide a QMID number.  Does this mean I can't deduct their cost and installation?

That is correct.  Although there was the ability with some manufacturers to claim the Residential Energy Credit for the solar portion of the skylights, Velux has issued a statement saying they are not able to certify that their products are eligible for an energy credit.  This means Velux products are no longer eligible for the credit. 

 

"After a recent review of US tax law, we find that we are unable to certify that any solar powered  skylight, accessory or related installation cost qualify under the Residential Clean Energy Credit 25(D). As a result, VELUX will refrain from promoting the IRS code section 25(D) as a consumer incentive."
