Taxable and Non-taxable Allowances. Iâve noticed some questions on Yahoo answers about which allowances are taxable and which are not. At the current time, the only taxable allowance is CONUS COLA, the Cost of Living Allowance paid to people who living in certain expensive parts of the continental United States. By federal law, all new allowances created after 1986 will be taxable.
Solar shingles vs. solar panels. Many homeowners are curious about the difference between solar shingles and traditional solar panels. Solar roof shingles use the same technology as PV panels, and are the same size and shape as a typical asphalt shingle. As with solar panels, solar shingles are paired with inverters and connected to the grid.
(Redirected from Solar shingles) Solar shingles, also called photovoltaic shingles, are solar panels or solar modules designed to look like and function as conventional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingle or slate, while also producing electricity. Solar shingles are a type of solar energy solution known as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
