With tax season coming up, we are getting inquiries about how the federal tax credit works.

My reading on what little info the IRS has is that the 30% credit can be taken only on your actual out of pocket expenses - that is, full cost of the system minus any other rebates, incentive, or grants.

But a few of our customers are telling us that they are being told by some that the full 30% credit applies no matter what other incentives they might get. That does not make sense to me, but I can find nothing on the IRS site or anyplace else that really addresses that issue.

Does anyone have some actual documented info on this?
