Kirpal et al,

I'm wondering how the tax code will allow a 2008-installed but 2009-commissioned system to be expensed as a 2009 expense, for tax credit purposes, if the payments were made by the system owner in 2008?

Greetings......we recently installed a solar pv system on a residential customer and it has been inspected by both the local electrical inspector and the state rebate authority and approved.  Now that we have passed those inspections, the next phase of the process is having the utility company come out and install their new meter for net metering......I was wondering if anyone has a definitive answer as to what actually commissions the system?  We are thinking of having the power company hold off until after the new year so that the customer can get the 2009 tax credits instead of the 2008 credits.......
The question is does the system get commissioned once it is inspected or once the power company gets the new meter installed so that the system can actually be turned on.....
Thanks for any advice.......It actually could be worth its weight in gold!.......
