Workflow for a new OpenStudio feature - Photovoltaics

Photovoltaics are being added to OpenStudio and I am trying to figure out the best way to get user feedback on this. We have a preliminary design doc here. The feature wasn't on UserVoice yet so I added it. Now I'm wondering what the best process is to get feedback on this design? I'd like to use UserVoice to provide feedback on the progression of this feature but I'm not sure people are looking there yet. What feedback back on the new feature process do users have?

Update

Here is the proposed grid view layout for Electrical Systems. You will be able to make as many buses as you need and add as many generators to each bus as you want (provided they match the bus voltage and current). You can add an inverter for DC systems, a transformer for AC systems, and electrical storage. Thermal interactions would be managed at the Zone HVAC or Air/Plant Loop levels. Surfaces with PV generators will be visible in the SketchUp plug-in.
