[Lincolnparkdc] Attempting to go Solar ...any guiding advice?

Mark,

Just a small additional piece of information - the 30% federal tax credit
applies through the end of 2019. Next year, under current law at least, the
credit drops to 26%.  To qualify, the system had to be *installed* by the
end of the calendar year, so you're better off acting sooner rather than
later.

One other note that may or may not be relevant to your decision .  The tax
credit is *non-refundable* which means you cannot claim any amount of your
credit greater than your total tax liability.

Good luck.
