We had Solar Panels installed in 2017 but couldn't take the deductions until this year. I'm not seeing any place to declare them. HELP

What is the reason you couldn't take the deductions until this year?

You can take the Home Energy Credit for the solar panels on your 2018 return if the installation was not completed until 2018.  TurboTax will generate a Form 5695 (Home Energy Credit) by doing the following:
