If you made qualified energy efficiency home improvements, such as solar energy systems, wind energy systems, geothermal heat pump, battery storage technology, or fuel cells, you may be eligible for an energy credit on your tax return.
The easiest way to know if a purchase meets the energy efficiency criteria is if the manufacturer has a certification statement included in the packaging or a certificate that can be downloaded from the company website where it proves that the material you bought qualifies for the credit. Keep the manufacturer's certification document with your tax records. Don't mail the manufacturer's certification to the IRS with your tax return when you claim the credit.
