like to summarize all the responses and my findings about PV modeling in
eQuest. Specially thank Scott Criswell for pointing me to the right
directions on this simulation skill. Basically three steps to model a PV
array system in eQuest: </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=925493617-23072004>Step
1: Create PV Module under Utility and Rate Section</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=925493617-23072004><FONT
color=#0000ff>Step 2: Create a corresponding Electric Generator <FONT

section</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN class=925493617-23072004>Step 3: Under the
Utility Rate command, add Buy/Sell command if selling back electricity generated
by PV systems to the grid</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to simulate the
electricity generated by using photovoltaic in eQuest. After creating
the PV module under the Utility Section and making the simulation run, REPORT
PS-H (Loads and Energy Usage for Photovoltaic Module 1) shows ZERO kWh
generated by PV module. Did I miss something here? Anyone has
experience with PV module in eQuest?</FONT></SPAN></P>
