The AHJ is looking for the UL certification. The IRS agent did not. The agent looked at the equipment and the displays to see that the system was operational, paid no attention to any labels. Pieter Huebner

The only manufacturer that has been able to provide a statement has been REC. I’m attaching a copy for reference. Is there an assumption that most equipment qualifies? The IRS definition for “qualified solar electric property” is pretty vague - "Qualified solar electric property expenditure. The term "qualified solar electric property expenditure" means an expenditure for property which uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in a dwelling unit located in the United States and used as a residence by the taxpayer."
