[Equest-users] Solar Water Heating

[Haddad, Kamel]

There is no support for solar thermal systems in eQUEST now. 

You can simulate the solar system in another program such as TRNSYS. The
return temperature from the generator of the absorption chiller to the
solar tank can be estimated based on the heat input to the generator
estimated by eQUEST.

Is there a way to model a solar water heating plant in equest to use for
the energy to drive the absorption cycle?  When I have gotten the
absorption cycle simulation to run it always uses gas for the energy
input.
