The tax break can be applied to a solar-panel system installed at your primary residence or second home. Take the credit for the tax year the system becomes operational. Use IRS Form 5695. The credit can’t exceed the total amount owed infederal taxes for that year, but it can carry over to future years. Save receipts and certification statements.
