Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility of claiming GST input tax credit (ITC) for an 8kW solar panel system installed for business electricity generation. While the general consensus leans towards ineligibility under Section 17(5)(c) and (d) of the CGST Act, the conversation highlights that specific clauses for solar panels are not explicitly mentioned. Professionals are encouraged to thoroughly examine the business purpose and usage to determine the applicability of blocked credit provisions.

If it is for business purpose, you can claim.

also can claim depreciation.

not sure of there is any specific clause for solar panels.
As per my view,
The said ITC is ineligible/blocked u/s 17(5) (c) and (d) of CGST act...

So, Reverse the ITC.
