Hi, has anyone tried modeling rotating PV in EnergyPlus? I want to compare it on an hourly and monthly basis. Do you think this approach might be good or not? I will have three PV panels, one facing east, one south, and one west. For the hourly case, I would schedule the east-facing PV to be active and set the others to 0 until 11 a.m. From 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. I would activate the south-facing PV, and after 3 p.m. the west-facing PV. For the monthly case, I would do something similar. Would this approach be correct?Ro
