In 2020, you will receive the same 26% solar tax credit as your neighbors who put a solar system on their residential home. However, because this is business equipment, you will qualify for either depreciation or Section 179. Section 179 allows one to deduct the cost basis in the year the equipment is “placed in service” instead of having to depreciate it over a number of years. AEM does not act as your private tax lawyer, CPA, or advisor; and so please see your own tax preparer for any personal questions.
