Even if your solar energy credit got carried over into your 2017 income tax return, you still might not get the credit because for 2017:

Check you Form 1040, Line 53 Residential energy credit. Attach Form 5695, to see if any portion of the credit is reflected.

Why the Form1040 from Turbo Tax doesn't include Line 53 Residential Energy Credit?. I have $8,308 credit from 2018 for Solar Panels Installation.
Since the IRS changed the 1040 and the additional schedules AGAIN this year so the form 5695 credit will show on the Sch 3 line 5 that then carried to the 1040 line 13b.
