No output generation for our hourly electricity consumption and solar production

Dear community,

We are one final step away from finishing our analysis and wanted to ask if somebody could have a look at our IDF file? We are simulating the electricity consumption and a potential solar PV production of our university building. We have finished putting in data for the electricity consumption and solar PV generation. Unfortunately, there is no output generated, contrary to our output that we had along the way of putting in our input. When looking at the error file, it is primarily concerned with zones and the physical structure of the building. As our analysis is only about electricity we haven’t put in data for zones or a building and we do not consider this to be relevant for the results. Do you know what parameters we would need to change to receive the hourly electricity consumption as well as the hourly solar PV production? Do you agree with our opinion that a generic building structure is sufficient for our purposes and how can we implement it?

Our IDF File is attached here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_lwyDS7ZJkFQTqzSJAm6Ta3ksmV6H9zv/view?usp=sharing

Thank you very much. Any support is greatly appreciated.
