[BLDG-SIM] Photovoltaic Module in eQuest

I'd like to summarize all the responses and my findings about PV modeling in eQuest.  Specially thank Scott Criswell for pointing me to the right directions on this simulation skill.  Basically three steps to model a PV array system in eQuest: 
Step 1: Create PV Module under Utility and Rate Section
Step 2: Create a corresponding Electric Generator ELEC-GENERATOR on the same section
Step 3: Under the Utility Rate command, add Buy/Sell command if selling back electricity generated by PV systems to the grid
 
The description of PV module parameters is included in the DOE-2.2 Dictionary volume of documentation.  And example of a small commercial PV system is included in the 2nd to last page (or there abouts) of the same documentation.  http://doe2.com/download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol2-Dictionary.pdf <http://doe2.com/download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol2-Dictionary.pdf>    (~2.6 MB)

 
Happy Simulation!

	I am trying to simulate the electricity generated by using photovoltaic in eQuest.  After creating the PV module under the Utility Section and making the simulation run, REPORT PS-H (Loads and Energy Usage for Photovoltaic Module 1) shows ZERO kWh generated by PV module.  Did I miss something here?  Anyone has experience with PV module in eQuest?

	Thanks, 

	Bing
