You can Amend your 2022 return to add the full price of what you paid for your solar panels, and remove the monthly payment amount (which is not a deductible expense). You may get a nice tax credit in 2022, and a carryover credit to use in 2023 as well.
You can claim the Residential Clean Energy (RCE) credit when you acquire certain qualified alternative energy equipment for use in the home. The RCE credit replaces the Residential Energy Efficient Property (REEP) credit beginning with the 2022 tax year. The allowable credit is up to 30 percent of an unlimited amount of costs you incur to purchase and install qualified energy property including:
- solar electric
- solar water heating
- fuel cell property
- small wind energy
- geothermal heat pump property
The credit can reduce your tax owed to $0, and any unused amount rolls over as a credit for the next year.
Here's detailed info about the Home Energy Credits to help you.
