You would not get a tax credit for this. The power company would not let you connected it to your house it does not meet code. If you had a fire at your house and the insurance company found this they would not cover your claim. Just a few things to think about.
I don’t think it is worth it at all.

As Jeff said you can do some research and get good equipment that meets code and get a tax credit inspected and insurance will still cover fire.
