Regardless, the tax game is such a tricky one. Even the IRS will blatantly ignore their own rules at times if the law allows it. One just has to be prepared to pay the piper when they roll that way!
It helps when you design the house around energy efficiency from the start and also especially helps that it's only 600sqft.

I wonder about the tax incentives for the solar structure... If I convert the Del Sol to EV that could offset the cost of my carport. I'm planning on a she'd style roof (to match the house) which would have Western exposure. I'm pretty much out of room on the house itself.
