Suppose you could do that commuting by bus or train: would that make the tickets an investment? I don't think so.

So like food, you consume electricity...but if you are using electricity for business, can it not be written off?
Sure, as a business expense, not as an investment. Solar panels would usually qualify as an investment, since you expect them to eventually return more than their cost in the value of electricity produced. That's why most discussions of solar talk about how long it takes to break even.
