solar cooling in Energyplus

Hi. I want to make solar cooling system in Energyplus. To be specific, one zone is connected with air-loop heat pump and an absorption chiller. There are solar collectors and the heat from solar collector is reserved in thermal storage, and then the absorption chiller is operating using the heat from thermal storage.

I looked through the example files and found out [AbsorptionChiller.idf] [HPAirToAir_wSolarCollectorHWCoil.idf] I am planning to make idf file combining the class lists in these example files.

Can I make it possible? Do you have any pieces of advice? I'm not sure about it. so please help me.
