[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: PV for a house

Hi,

I believe the minimum requirements are the five objects listed in the example below.  In addition, you'll need a surface to mount the PV, a zone to specify where inverter losses occur (optional; blank=outdoors), and an availability schedule (which I have listed as always on).
