It doesn't matter how much you owe on your tax return when you file it. The issue is whether you have enough taxable income after subtracting your deductions and exemptions from your adjusted gross income to result in a tax liability of $7500 or more to offset the non refundable credit. You don't need to owe any of it.
For example, a single taxpayer with no dependents would need around $47,000 of income (after subtracting the standard deduction and personal exemption) to have a tax liability of around $7500 in order to offset the $7500 tax credit. If you withheld $7500 of federal income tax during the year, you would still qualify for the $7500 of credit and get it as a refund.
You can use the tax table to determine how much income would be needed for other filing statuses: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf
