A nonrefundable credit can't reduce your tax liability past zero. Even with the energy credit, your tax liability is still more than zero. But because you had taxes withheld from your paychecks, you are getting more of those withheld taxes back. But you are not getting them all back, so you still have a tax liability - - which means you can still benefit from non-refundable credits.
