How can I find out my roof shingles are eligible for tax deduction?

[LindaS5247]

It depends on what kind of shingles they are.

In general, upgrading or replacing a roof to prepare for installing solar panels aren’t qualified to claim the Residential Clean Energy Credit because their primary function is to serve as a structure. But there are certain types of solar roofing, like solar roofing tiles and shingles, which serve as both a form of solar electric generation and traditional roofing. This type of roofing will qualify for the credit.
