[EnergyPlus_Support] Solar collectors: "Branches cannot handle all the flow"



I'm trying to model solar collectors (again!). I want to model solar collectors as follows:
oooooooooo
oooooooooo      (o = solar collector)
oooooooooo
oooooo

When I model collectors as follows:
oooooooooo
o
o
o

An error occured :
** Severe  ** Branches cannot handle all the flow. Possible causes could be absence of Bypass,
**   ~~~   ** or components that are manually sized incorrectly.  Consider autosize where possible.
**   ~~~   ** To fix add a Bypass branch or size the other ACTIVE/PASSIVE branches to equal the loop flow
**   ~~~   ** Occurs in Plant Loop=DHW LOOP
**   ~~~   ** Occurs for Splitter=DEMAND SPLITTER

But, all my components are autosize!! Thus, my installation doesn't have any bypass, so I don't want to model bypass!
Is there anybody able to solve this problem?
