[RE-wrenches] Fed Tax Credit

[Dana]

Question related to back up generators installed during a solar installation:

 

For many years my clients have claimed their backup generators as part of the solar system if installed at the time of the solar installation & on the same invoice.

No one has gotten called on this to date.

Any comment on this practice?

I thought the ITC was all types of solar products?

I talked to my tax accountant. She had never had come across anything that would indicate that it would be a problem. Has anyone had customers that did or didn't have issues? 

Thanks,

Talk to your tax advisor (or have the customer talk to theirs).  Don’t ever give out tax advise (unless you’re licensed to) as it opens you to liability should you give them the wrong advise and they get audited by the IRS.

Hello Wrenches,

Is it permissible to take the the tax credit on the batteries and backup inverter of an AC coupled system when the system would be capable of feeding the grid without the backup inverter and the batteries?

Thank you,

Drake
