Currently I try to model a photovoltaic system in EnergyPlus. This photovoltaic system has 5 inverters. Each inverter is connected to a certain part of the PV array. All of the inverters a located in one room of the building. My question is: What is the best way to model this in EnergyPlus?

Everytime I open the same IDF file in SketchUp the PV panels are moved. I've tried to make a group of all the PV surfaces I modelled, but that didn't work. Is this a problem when I simulate the IDF in EnergyPlus regarding to the outputs? And if so, how do I prevent the PV surfaces from moving everytime I open the IDF file in SketchUp?

Regarding to the inverter, I use ELCD:Inverter:LookUpTable. The modelled PV surfaces in SketchUp are all defidefined in Building:Surface:Detailed. Because of the many PV panels there are much more inverters. There are around 4000 PV panels and 31 inverters.
