RightI think there is a fine line according to the IRS. One could claim the 30% for the array but as for the heat pump/mini split, it falls under the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit
Electric or natural gas heat pumps, electric or natural gas heat pump water heaters, central air conditioners,natural gas or propane or oil water heaters, natural gas or propane or oil furnaces or hot water boilers: must meet or exceed the highest efficiency tier (not including any advanced tier) established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) that is in effect as of the beginning of the year in which the property is placed in service.See also the CEE Directory of Efficient Equipment for a searchable database of qualifying equipment.
A person could probably claim the expense under the solar system credit but if audited it might not be allowed. I'd certainly consult a tax specialist that might be able to shed light on the subject.
You can't claim the energy star credit if the mini split doesn't qualify.
You can only claim the solar system credit for the solar panels.
