eQUEST will model PV. You can create a "sale electric meter" which
will be used for electricity that is generated by the PV system and
not used in the building.<br>
<br>
I have only played with one eQUEST model that included PV (a 2 kW
residential application that was close to home) but its results and
those of RETScreen were quite similar. RETScreen is quick so good
for validating results.<br>

<div>Thank you for the reply. I think Retscreen can help with
the PV power generation. </div>
<div>Maybe I did not express my question clearly, The PV power
capacity has been identified and it will connect to several
buildings, my building is one of them. I do not know how to
estimate the amount of green power from PV to my building, as
we are applying for LEED credit (EA c2).</div>

moz-do-not-send="true"

<span id="ecx:2co.3" tabindex="-1">PVSyst</span> for
this <span id="ecx:2co.4" tabindex="-1">PV</span> power
generation analysis. Once yo know power consumption for
the building after the Energy simulation (<span
id="ecx:2co.5" tabindex="-1">BEPS</span>, <span
id="ecx:2co.6" tabindex="-1">BEPU</span> reports),
then based on that you can target <span id="ecx:2co.7"

<div dir="ltr"><span>Dear eQuesters,</span>
<div><br style="line-height:21.3px;">
</div>
<div>I am working on a LEED certification for one
building in an industry park. The park has a
solar PV system serving several buildings. So I
do not think I can simulate the PV systems
directly in eQUEST to get its share to the LEED
target building. My question is how to estimate
the PV generated electricity to my building?
Should I prorate the PV electricity based on
those buildings' energy use, or there is a
better way to do the calculation/estimation in
the design phase? Any comment is appreciated!</div>
