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

Roof work (including shingles, flashing,

civil work (excavating, trenching, etc.),
fencing and signage, electrical changes and
upgrade, design work, permit costs,
interconnection costs, etc. everything required
to install the system should be specified in
writing so that customers or their accountants
can determine tax incentives eligibility.

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

To add to the question, what about electrical panel work, or even
service upgrade?

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