Generally I agree that it applies to systems, but a case could be made
fairly easily for a significant upgrade. IE, more PVs plus an upgraded
CC, larger CBs, etc. If you threw battery replacement into that mix I
think it would fly as a system. I agree that batteries alone probably
won't do it, but it would be good to get a SEIA opinion there.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Battery Replacementent tax question
Dear Wrenches,
Today I told a customer for whom I replaced a set of batteries that as
far as I know, the 30% federal tax credit for residential PV systems
could be applied to this expense. In this case the home is off-grid, a
primary residence, and no credits were taken for the initial system.
But I would post a question out to this list. Am I correct in my advice?
Thank you,
Allan Sindelar
