[Bldg-sim] PV Collector in E-quest

[Bishop, Bill]

Ümit,

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday (which was the first time I tried doing an electric generator).  I actually had to use the Windows Task Manager to close eQUEST because the warning window kept opening again every time I closed it.  I eventually stopped getting the warnings after I filled in all the blank fields in the "Basic Specifications" and "PV Array" tabs (including the "Operating Limits/Conditions" tab under the PV Array tab).

A good resource for filling in these fields is the SMA website:
http://www.sma-america.com/solar-technology/products/grid-tied-inverters/sunny-boy/index.html
They also have a string sizing program:

Xantrex and SatCon are also good resources, especially for larger systems.

Regards,
Bill

Dear All,

I am trying to model PV Collecotrs on top of a roof by using the
instructions in DOE dictionary document. But I get some warnings during
the creation of PV Modules and Electric Generation. The Warning is:"Unable
to locate default data for Command=70, Type=4, Keyword=4366" anyone has a
warning like that before?

Have a sunny day
