Ever wake up suddenly with a great idea?
Perhaps this is obvious to most, but while I have been wanting to expand my PV array, add storage, and all of that, I have also been wanting to build a shed this spring. But what if that shed is built to a standard to fully support all of that?
With 200 square feet of space as my upper limit, a lean-to style roof provides well over 200 square feet of panel space. *200+ square feet of panel space that must be a part of the support structure for the array.*
That seems to me like I just saved 30% of the cost of building my shed via the tax man!

Okay, perhaps writing off the entire thing might be a stretch, but certainly any costs to creating the basic structure would be covered. Housing a battery storage system would probably grant even further leeway on that point. It would have to be protected from the elements and theft, right??
Foundation, floor system, wall and roof framing, exterior siding, and roof covering, all potentially able to be included as write-offs!
Am I missing something or did I just wake up to what many people have been doing all along?
