Quote from @Eduardo Perez-Borroto: Since the HELOC was not used on improving the home you cannot deduct the interest, nor use that to offset your capital gain.Would adding a battery bank system to my solar panels count as home improvement?

I would suggest making sure that you are following a set format/style of house each time you flip to systemize it more2.
