I dont see any way to post or insert screen shots, but my question is the items they list in the cost contract.
The first item is called SOLAR ROOF- $$$$
The second item is called ROOF-$$$
I am in Florida where permits are easy to get, building a new workshop, 75% done ;detached, and plan to just put down the membrane and wait for Tesla to install. It will be ,10kw , tier 1 due to stupid insurance rules, and no power wall, just net-metering. The building permit is good for a year.
So there is no tear off cost, just new solar shingles, inverter, breaker , disconnect, and wiring.
Tesla PM told me the typical cost for a solar roof , is $7.65sf...is that hardware , inverter, electrical included ? because that matches the ROOF cost,
So what is in each cost, why are there two?

Based upon above, then the $7.65 cost I was quoted is only for the active shingles. So when mfgr mixes active and dummy shingles, into a roof, I have to separate them for the purposes of the tax credit?.....makes no sense. They are an inseparable product/project.
In my case, the roof was about 50/50 solar panels vs blank panels, a 10.8 kWh system.
Not sure what the $7.65 cost is. Perhaps you meant $76,500?

You can mix them together if you like and take the chance in not getting audited. I would keep lube in the house, because the IRS agents don't carry it around.
It's your objection to the splitting out of active panels for the tax credit that makes no sense.
