Very few solar panels on new houses (2025 Update)

All my other was just the simple version. Tax laws in the US are very difficult to know all the fine points, so I use a computer program and hope it is right.

Yes, that $ 3000 is very low now. One year I had a carry over for a couple of years. The stock crashed and did not make very much of a gain for a while. Not enough to offset a loss when a power company went bust. You would think that a power company could not fail, but they did . Should have known to stay out of anything controled by California.

It's not tax free stupid, it's tax deferred.

Those don’t have the tax free status that ISAs have.

WTF are you talking about? From the link: "Interest on cash held in an ISA, including Stocks and shares ISAs,[30] is not subject to income tax.[31]"

Wrong, as always.

The account is exempt from income tax and capital gains tax on the investment returns, and no tax is payable on money withdrawn from the scheme either.

And it isnt deferred either, when you eventually withdraw it, it, you don't pay income tax on it then either.

He's pig ignorantly assume it works like yank IRAs, it doesn't.

Of course they do, why wouldn't they?

All you do is get someone round to check it's wired up right and certify it.

Because that isnt up to the installer.

Wrong again.

Yes, but you don't get to do that part of the installation and get paid for the electricity you deliver to the grid, or even install the meter that shows how much you have generated either.

Just did.

It isnt a tiny island.

Ireland is, which is what I was referring to.

Anyway, you called my island a "soggy LITTLE island" several times.

Tiny isnt the same as little. We have different words for a reason.

Doesn't work like that with solar panels if you want to be paid for the electricity they generate.

Just as true of your claim.

You made the claim,

You get to show the link.

That's how it works.

The mainland UK is little, Ireland is tiny.

Because that's the way it works. Even harry didn't diy his.

You don't even get to buy the meter.

Nope, you flaunted your pig ignorance, as usual.

There is no specific size listed anywhere to claim what is small and tiny.

Works that way for anything else, so why not solar?

So what? You can buy the panels and the invertor and set everything up and avoid most of the labour charge:

Ignorant of stupid folk, perhaps.

Yep, but only fools call Ireland tiny. Try finding anyone calling Ireland tiny with google.

But you cant diy everything and still get paid for the electricity you generate.

Yep, yours is certainly the ignorance of stupid folk.

But when I say island I have to be speaking geographically.
