Kent,
   The Type194 "mode" parameter (parameter 1) is set to 1, which 
indicates a PV without an inverter. It should be set to 2 for a PV with 
an inverter. The proforma's "more" button had an error in Trnsys16 
(fixed with Trnsys17) that said that mode 2 was not implemented when in 
fact it was. You should be able to do an "Edit:Replace" on your PV using 
the Type194b proforma and get that mode parameter changed to 2.
Best,
  David
