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.

Wrenches,

Has anyone had a customer that was being audited and requesting a 
manufacturers’ certification statement for their PV equipment?  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."

Thanks,

,
