Is the tax credit only for fully installed units in the US? Could I not buy a stove and bring it across the border and still get the tax credit? I'm still a US taxpayer and this is the first partial year here, so I will still likely have US taxes owed (instead of Canadian taxes exceeding US taxes)
@ABMax24
Do you have a specific link to an article that would discuss tax credits/incentives for solar installs?

Unless you pay American taxes there would be no way to get the credit. If you do it may be possible but I am not sure.
This particular year (2021), I believe I will have more taxable income in the US compared to in Canada, and thus will need to settle up with Uncle Sam first. In future years, my Canadian taxes will always be higher and be 'credited' to the IRS
But, the real question is whether the 26% tax credit is just for purchase, or if it needs to be installed in the US too. Probably some grey area of the code...

The tax credit is for your primary and secondary home (if a person is so fortunate to have one). I'm not a tax expert but have read the 25D multiple times. I interpret it to apply to US residences.....BUT ASK YOUR ACCOUNTANT.

My question below, response at top: She was instrumental in this tax credit and lives in DC.
Hi Chris,
You are correct. The property in which the qualifying stove is being installed must be located in the United States. The individual is welcome and encouraged to consult their tax preparer for additional guidance.
This is the first time I’ve received this question, so unless I get the same question from a different person, I won’t be adding it to the FAQs on our website. But if another person does ask, then I’ll add it to the FAQs.

Good morning. If an individual pays taxes in the US but currently lives in Canada, buys a stove in the US, can they get the tax credit for the installation done in Canada? I'm inclined to say no and advised they seek input from tax preparer.
Thanks
Chris

Well there is the answer. I kind of assumed that would be the case but good to have a definite answer
