[Equest-users] PV and Solar Water Heating

[Brian Fountain]

The bad news first -- right now there is no solar thermal model (air or 
water) in eQUEST.  You will need to do the solar water calcs outside of 
eQUEST (RETScreen or something better perhaps), and then you can reduce 
your DHW by an equivalent amount as a workaround.  I understand solar is 
something that will come in future eQUEST generations.

PV is done by adding an electric generator of type PV panel.  There is 
not an extensive library of panel parameters (I think there is 1 in the 
library), so you need to get your panel data from the catalog cutsheets.
