[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: About setting Output:Variable

["Liam O'Brien" <liambrn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Use the output:variable called "Surface Ext Solar Incident". But you have to add this before running your simulation. The CSV file will contain this variable for each surface, so make sure you name your PV array as something recognizable.
