style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>To be honest there
really is no good way to model the solar panels. PV watts is really good
because it calculates panels all over the state using averages. It also depends
on what system you are using. If you use a roof mount system that has a
specific tilt you get a certain efficiency. If you use a system has trackers it
becomes more efficient but the price might go up. Different states have
different tilt angles to make their panels more efficient with the better
degree of tilt. The thing I would do if you wanted to put it in eQuest is use
PV watts calculator and apply it as a direct load that gives electricity to the
building.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
