In reviewing the IRS Instructions for Form 5695, there does not seem to be a requirement that the equipment installed be new with your installation. There would be no serial numbers included with the filing for the credit, so unless the IRS requested further information there would not be anything reported that would show the equipment's first use was not with you.
