Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] sunlit area too large

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Sunlit area too large warnings sometimes indicate that there is a 
problem with your geometry.  Turn on "report, surfaces, details" and 
verify that all surfaces are facing in the proper direction.  Check 
especially for horizontal surfaces that may be upside down.  For 
future reference, please let me know what you find.
