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!
