The letter template has a sign-off for the owner/agent to declare that the renewable energy source (in my case PV solar thermal) is 'installed by substantial completion of construction.' We will be cutting it very close. Does anyone know how GBCI really reads this? Does installed mean operational? Do the renewable energy systems need to be substantially complete for the overall project construction to be considered complete?

Have the owner sign the form and also upload a narrative explaining the actual situation. It should be fine if the system is not fully operational since the credit is calculated based on a projection. The purpose of that sign off is to make sure that the system will be installed. The timing is not critical.
