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

[Bob-O Schultze]

It's totally OK to apply for an offgrid Fed ITC. Some state (like OR) will even give you a State ITC for offgrid. However, I did have an offgrid client a few years back who's ITC was questioned. The IRS wanted to know if the PVs were for real (Mitsubishi just makes cars and TVs, right?) and wanted to see his receipts. Once I provided them with a PV cut sheet and made sure he had a copy of the final bill, the IRS allowed the ITC and left him be.

Reading the code they removed the grid tie only and this opened the door for off grid customers i would say its OK but i always recommend contacting the customers tax accountant as they will sign right next to your customer and they sometimes think different.

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!
