What do I enter in the Solar electric costs box if I am paying for my solar panels monthly?

[morgandaigle17]

We installed solar panels in 2024 so I'd like to take advantage of the tax credit, but like most, we pay for these monthly and didn't buy them outright. How do I enter this into Turbotax correctly?

You enter the total cost to include installation for the solar credit.
