I have a customer that is interested in putting PV on a residential rental property. Does this qualify?

The only time a customer would find out that they were "disallowed" is if they are audited, right?

Anyway, from the 5695 form sent out earlier, emphasis added:
"Qualified solar electric property costs. Qualified solar electric property costs are costs for property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in your home located in the United States. No costs relating to a solar panel or other property installed as a roof (or portion thereof) will fail to qualify solely because the property constitutes a structural component of the structure on which it is installed. The home does not have to be your main home."

"Main home" appears to be an issue only for fuel cell installations and Part II of the form (PV credit is in Part I).

Home is defined as "A home is where you lived in 2012 and can include a house, houseboat, mobile home, cooperative apartment, condominium, and a manufactured home that conforms to Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards. "

It sounds like the house in Jesse's situation would qualify. A tree stand would not.

We install hundreds of RV power systems, as high as $18,000 cost, and tell all of our customers about the tax credit. Many have reported back that they were allowed the tax credit. No one has ever told me it was disallowed. Some customers are full time, some only use the RV occasionally.

So, has anyone had a customer install a ITC eligible system on a second "residence" and claim the credit?
