You are correct. Berkshire Hathaway would benefit, not him personally. The tax credits are a big reason these things get built. There is a 30% solar tax credit

You are correct. Berkshire Hathaway would benefit, not him personally. The tax credits are a big reason these things get built. There is a 30% solar tax credit that can be passed through to owners against other income. http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=US02F http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_C... The reason this may not be a tax play for him is that ConEdison or SunPower may have already stripped the tax credits from the project and sold them independently. This means there may only be a long term investment vehicle that insurance-type companies like to hold. But someone benefited from the tax credits and I wouldn't be surprised if they were part of the deal.
