[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: solar combisystem

"Also, I don't think there's an evacuated tube model yet in e+." It would appear I'm wrong! 

"C:\EnergyPlusV5-0-0\MacroDataSets" has some.

You would probably need to use compact hvac, set up your hydronic systems (there are some example files in the e+ installation folder), set up the solar with a tank and connections to the hydronic, and finally set up some controllers. You may want to set up a back-up system as well. I've never done anything like that. The Ideal loads system won't integrate with solar panels the way you want - it's not a compact hvac object. Also, I don't think there's an evacuated tube model yet in e+.

I want to show that solar combisystem can help to reduce the energy load of the house. I want to use some of the hot water to heat the house in otherwords help to reduce the energy load.I was thinking of using the hot water to heat the floor or wall through radiant heat or through a radiator.i try to use zone HVAC baseboard-radiant convective: water.. but it doesn't work.
