Why does PVWatts fail in OpenStudioApplication-1.2.1?

edit

I am using OpenStudioApplication-1.2.1, which appears to be running EnergyPlus 9.5. I have written an EnergyPlus measure that adds a simple PVWatts system to the model. The following are the changes this measure produces in the in.idf file in the run folder.

And the following exist already in the in.idf file when the PVWatts system measure is not run.

So, as far as I can tell, all this "connects" correctly. Yet, when I run the model, it fails with the following output:
