Can You Write Off Solar Panels?
Short answer: No credit for systems installed after December 31, 2025; the 30% residential clean energy credit ended.
If installed in 2025 or earlier, claim it on that year's return. Business solar has separate rules.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
