If a DIY guy buys all listed equipment, gets engineering for the panel
installation, pulls permits and has everything inspected, he still
will not get the 30% federal tax credit or the state rebate because he
needs a licensed installer according to the law. What part of that is
too hard for you to comprehend?

No, you talking about "law" that doesn't exist is too
damn stupid to comment much more on.
Quit conflating fed and state laws too. That ****
doesn't work with me. I'm talking federal.
Why are you still talking about a state rebate law when
that rebate well is dry?


Can you trick the IRS into allowing the credit? Probably, but if you
get audited, you will lose.

Bull****. You just don't know what you're talking about.
Just keep your receipts, and make sure you don't use a
junk manufacturer that won't provide a manufacturer's tax
credit certificate. Keep that too.
If you're honest you won't lose an audit.

This stuff is years old already.
If you're having issues with DIY, blame it on Florida.

The state rebate, when there was one, had to be applied for by the
contractor and you got the check. Unfortunately these programs went
broke and there are thousands of people waiting for millions of
dollars worth of checks ... that are not coming.

Take that up with your state. If you don't like it
there, you've got the option to move.
