You are seeing EnergyPlus start to run, so this probably isn't an issue with the OpenStudio application. Seems like the error is in the PVWatts engine. "gcr" is the variable name for the Ground Coverage Ratio input, and while it should allow values up to 1 (as you've input), the "max=0.99" makes me think you should try a value below that. Or just put the default, since GCR only applies to arrays with one-axis tracking, and you're modeling a fixed array.

There's probably a bug here, but that might at least get you running.
