Isn't there a per watt cap that would tend to prevent major maintenance
costs being included?<br><br>

It's my understanding that shingles would not be included, just as
you<br>
can't build a house and then claim that it's a 5kW PV rack, for an<br>
$80,000 tax credit. The act of installing PV doesn't necessarily
require<br>
that the shingles be replaced.<br><br>
Electrical panel work may be OK if, say, you're putting a 30A PV
breaker<br>
in a 100A panel-- the addition of the PV likely requires a change to
the<br>
panel to remain code compliant. Similarly, if code requires you to<br>
upgrade the service for your interconnection to be legal, then I
would<br>
say that that change is eligible for that ITC.<br><br>

Hello,<br><br>
I remember someone asking something kind of similar
before, but<br>
couldn't find it in the archives. Can replacing
the shingles be<br>
considered when calculating the total cost of a PV
system for<br>
Federal tax credit?<br><br>
Thanks as always!<br><br>
