Is proof of 3rd party Cx of Renewable Energy installations required?

For v4 under Fundamental Commissioning and Verification, renewables are required system (if included in the project).  Consequently, they should be included in the process.  The uploads which confirm their inclusion are listed in the Reference Manual.  (i.e. systems lists, cx plan, documentation of testing and verification, etc.)   Very best with your project!  

Good question.  I am not seeing that the off-site renewable is specifically identified.  The way I would approach this is via intent:  1) are the renewables owned?  In that case, I would apply the same logic of District Energy Systems where new equipment to serve the project is included in cx scope and existing equipment has been functionally tested in last (I think) 5 years.  2) Are the renewables contracted?  Then, the project has no control over the construction or maintenance of these and therefore could not require them to be commissioned.   In either case, the presence of commissioning would serve the project in ensuring the anticipated performance is realized from the installation.    

@Joyce Kelly - wondering how this panned out for you? Were you able to claim credit for the offsite system without documenting commissioning?  Thx!
