[RE-wrenches] ITC for solar water pumping on a ranch

[Dean T. Newberry]

HI Eric,

 

The DSIRE website lists the incentives, there is no requirement for grid
tie.

Have your CPA or attorney verify, you can also query the IRS.

 

Ag systems filing Schedule F qualify for REAP grants from the USDA. 

I have done several grants and we always add the ITC and depreciation. 

REAP grants only apply to rural business uses, not residences.

 

On another completely different subject: 

 

I started using CIGS modules with string inverters in the last several
months, and am very happy with the results.

Curiously on Monday a system facing 205, south by southwest at 4 in 12 slope
with 48 CIGS 150 mods on an SMA 6000TL was reading 6100 Watts under light
cloudy skies at 4 PM.

On Tuesday it was reading 5000 watts under clear skies at 1 PM a bit better
than expected. 

Local PV research guy says CIGS like diffuse light.

 

Anybody else have experience with these kind of mods?

Subject: [RE-wrenches] ITC for solar water pumping on a ranch

 

Does anyone know for certain if a homeowner can qualify for the 30% federal
solar tax credit (ITC) if the PV is used for direct water pumping out of a
well used for irrigation? To be more specific, there are two wells that will
be solarized. One well will provide irrigation water to livestock on the
homeowner's property. The other well will provide drinking water to a future
residence (not yet built) on the property.

 

>From what I'm reading online, the answer is yes but the actual IRS tax form
doesn't address this application and I've been told by a friend that the
answer is no.

 

Thanks!

Jay, 

Perhaps asking the question here. I have hundreds of Magnum inverter
installations, perhaps I or others can help.

HI All,

Does anyone have a person at Magnum in engineering or higher up than tech
support.

I've got a problem with an inverter that tech support won't or can't help
with.

thanks
