Does EnergyPlus calculate the solar radiation also for shading surfaces? My purpose is to obtain from EnergyPlus the totat amount of solar radiation that is reaching a PV panel (I classify it as a shading surface only and not as a PV panel because I need only the incident radiation in it). If I select as output "Surface Outside Face Incident Solar Radiation rate" in the CSV file are displayed only the radiations that refers to the surfaces of my building and not to the shading surfaces. Moreover, the calculated incident solar radiation does take into account the presence of other shading surfaces that can obscure the PV module?
