Invalid FluidSys property type in CBECC-Com v3

I'm running a model using the NewEnvelopeAndLighting compliance type to test the geometry and am getting the following error. The model does not have any HVAC systems and certainly doesn't have solar hot water so I'm at a loss for why a solar fraction error is occurring.

Error: Retrieving data from model 0 (invalid FluidSys property type (USER model, class 43, property type 2, iError 0)) in GetBEMProcData() evaluating rule: Set SIZING_PROPOSED FluidSys:AnnualSolFrac (80:'HVACPrimary-General.rule' line 857)

The rule file block from the error message, line 857 is SIZING PROPOSED.
