Energyplus does not yet have HVACTemplates for all equipment types. For
those equipment that cannot be configured using HVACTemplate, you must
run the simulation first without the solar collectors. When you run this
simulation the HVACTemplates will be "expanded" into actual EnergyPlus
objects. Then copy the *.expidf file to a new name.idf. Then edit this
file and add the solar collector loop "by hand", meaning to add the
solar collector objects and associated plant loop objects to the new
name.idf.file.
