Poor wording, a second home. But you have to choose which one you will claim as your “main” home for the credit.No for secondary residency. Yes for carrying forward to next tax years.

And keep in mind that since it’s an off grid system, you’ll forget all about that missed tax credit when there’s a long term power outage!
A storm came through here about 4 hours ago and there are widespread power outages. While all my neighbors are in the dark and without water, (we all have wells), life continues as usual for me with the batteries at 94% and in about 9 more hours, the sun will be shining.
Same here. I use the grid tie system to save money and the off grid system in place of a generator for outages.Yes! That's exactly why I have off grid solar. My entire house is still on the grid, but I have off grid solar with 30kwh battery as backup for power outages or emergencies. And then I have backup for the backup that's completely isolated from the main backup with its own solar panels and 7kwh battery. I'm expecting a brutal summer this year and anticipate there will be some rolling blackouts.
This is very misleading, but true. A better visual would be, what percentage of gross earnings do the top 1% pay? Our current system allows the wealthy to deduct so many things, this lowers the percentage of their income taxed. Sometimes less than the average american."The top 1% of taxpayers — those who earn $561,351 or more — paid 42.3% of the total tax revenue collected in 2020, according to the latest figures from the IRS. In fact, the top 1-percent of taxpayers paid more income taxes than the bottom 90-percent all together."

Or getting money back they didn't pay in, "Earned Income Credit""Lower income" people are generally paying little to no income tax.
I think this is about the solar tax credit. Unfortunately, the solar tax credit is not refundable. There are other credits like the child tax credit where you can actually get money back even if you paid no taxes. With the solar tax credit you can only use it to offset money that you actually owe for income taxes. These credits are not transferable and cannot be sold.I think there is some confusion and it sounds like your CPA is talking about SRECs solar renewal energy credits which are based on the power your solar setup generates vs a federal tax credit which is based on the cost of your system
