The example file ShopWithPVandBAttery.idf does PV + electrical storage simulation for a 1 story building divided into 4 exterior and one interior conditioned zones with a return plenum. It is a low energy building with photovoltaic roof and electrical storage. If PV simulation is all you need then this IDF does that job quite well. Not sure how you could account for shading directly. One approach would be to use radiance with E+ and performa a co-simulation using something like BCVTB.
