Dana,
Federal depreciation rules establish depreciation or the depreciable basis
based on the system cost reduced by half of the tax credit. The federal
grant is "in lieu" of the tax credit therefore I am fairly certain that
treatment should be the same as taking the tax credit.
However, I couldn't readily find a definitive answer and it was not covered
in the SEIA webinar. If you cant get an affirmative response then email the
treasury department at 1603Questions at do.treas.gov.

Wrenches,
I feel like this must have been discussed before, but I can't find it in the
archives.
If a business takes the 30% federal grant, do they get to depreciate 100% of
the system cost, or just the remaining 70%?
Thanks,
Dana
