You might get a tax credit, depending on how loosely the agent that reveiwed you application interpreted their rules. It wouldn't hurt to file the paperwork, but I wouldn't count on the credit to help justify the project.
I've only developed this opinion after discussions with other people going after "green" government subsidies, specifically DIY boats and cars. Most government officials don't understand what we're doing, and would rather direct the money to support commercial efforts in these arenas because it is easier to cover their a** with their bosses.
But don't let me discourage you. Give it a try and let us know how it works out.
