[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: PV for a house

["Liam" <liambrn@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the example I gave previously, it's on the third line.  My surface name is "ROOF_S".  If you don't have a zone in your model, you can create a shading surfaces.  For instance, my model has a surface called "OH" that could serve as the reference surface for a PV array, as defined below.
