No you would calculate foreign workdays on all your RSU income. If 240 workdays during the year and 120 of the workdays were foreign you would calculate 120/240 * RSU income = foreign income from RSU. If you were working overseas in 2017, then your base salary can be allocated by workdays as well (but only on 2017workdays) Bonus would usually be allocated using prior year workdays if some of it was earned overseas.

You would need to know the amount of RSU included in your W-2 wages. After determining this amount, you will need to allocate the income by between foreign and US workdays between grant and vest. If 50% of your workdays during this time were in a foreign country, then 50% of your RSU income would be foreign source. US source income cannot be offset by foreign tax credits. You would enter you W-2 as you normally would in TurboTax. Then you would go to Miscellaneous income to enter the amount of foreign source RSU income as a negative number on line 21, page 1 of your 1040.
Please follow the instructions below to report your foreign RSU income as a negative on line 21:
Click Federal Taxes ->
Wages & Income and scroll down to Less Common Income
Go to the last selection,
Miscellaneous Income and click Start
Go to the last option,
Other reportable income and click Start
When it asks, "Any
other reportable income?" say yes and then type in a description and
the amount to report it on your tax return (make sure this is a negative number)
The you need to go to the foreign tax credit section of TurboTax to enter the foreign income (amount that you entered as a negative on line 21) so that you may take credit for the foreign taxes you already paid.
To include the
amount of foreign taxes you paid, follow these steps for TTPremier:
Open up your tax return in
TurboTax
Select Federal Taxes
Select Deductions and Credits
Scroll down to the section
"Estimates and Other Taxes Paid"
Select Foreign Taxes
Follow through this section
to enter the foreign taxes paid

This year they are asking what part of the W-2 is foreign so you do not need to subtract it one place and reenter it another place. RSU would be general limitation income.

If this situation applies to you. Enter your W-2 information and then go to Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and indicate that you received foreign income on a W-2. TurboTax will ask you how much of your W-2 was foreign. Indicate the foreign amount and continue. You do not want to claim the foreign earned income exclusion, only foreign tax credit.

Yes, according the the instructions for Form 5695, Residential Energy Credit:
If you can't use all of the credit because of the tax liability limit (that is, line 14 is less than line 13), you can carry the unused portion of the credit to 2020..
You should not include the cost of financing the solar panels in the solar panel cost entered in your tax return. So only include the total before interest.

If the software has entered a number for 3a, you can just explain that it is a software computed amount.
Please see the instructions from Form 1116, page 16 below:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1116.pdf
Lines 3a and 3b Some deductions don't definitely relate to either your foreign source income or your U.S. source income. Enter on lines 3a and 3b any deductions (other than interest expense) that: • Aren't shown on line 2, and • Aren't definitely related to your U.S. source income.
Line 3a. Enter the following itemized deductions (from Schedule A (Form 1040)) on line 3a. • Medical expenses (line 4). • General sales taxes (line 5). • Real estate taxes for your home (line 6). If you don't itemize deductions, enter your standard deduction on line 3a.
Line 3b. Enter on line 3b any other deductions that don't definitely relate to any specific type of income (for example, the deduction for alimony paid from Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 31a
