Where are the options to add the cost of solar panels in the Home Energy section?

in Credits/Deductions

I'm not coming across any sections where I add the cost of solar panels installed in 2024. After confirming that I made my home more energy efficient and verifying my address, there is a screen for energy efficiency improvements (insulation, windows, and doors), fuel cell costs, and energy property expenses (HVAC, water heaters, boilers, heat pumps, etc). Then it moves onto the energy audit.

There is no mention of solar anywhere on these screeens. Am I missing something?

    Hello Raddish Taxes,

    The software allows you to input the costs of solar property based on the information provided. Follow this menu path: Deductions/Credits > Home Energy Credit and select Add a Home. At the bottom of "Enter your home information" screen, choose "yes" if you incurred 2024 residential clean energy costs for the home. The software will then prompt you to provide details about your clean energy expenses. Solar panel installation costs should be entered in the "Qualified Solar Electric Property" field.
