EnergyPlus: Export the whole PV production to the grid

I was wondering if it is possible to export the whole PV production to the grid in EnergyPlus (no self-consumption of the generated PV electricity) ? I was playing with the different Generator Operation Scheme Type in ElectricLoadCenter:Distribution but wasn't able to "sell" the whole generated PV electricity to the grid.

I am using the following outputs for my study case:

  • Whole Building:Facility Total Purchased Electric Power W
  • Whole Building:Facility Total Surplus Electric Power W
  • Whole Building:Facility Net Purchased Electric Power W
