Solar tax credit 2019

[Bulls23337]

Hello, if I pay for the solar panels and labor this year, but the panels don't get installed until January 2020 due to the city permits department being backed up, can I still claim the 30% tax credit on my 2019 tax returns?

If the solar panels are not installed in 2019, then you cannot claim the credit on your 2019 tax return.
