Solar collector - Temperature out of range

Hello everyone, I am modelling a DHW system in which water is pre warmed in a tank thanks to a solar collector and then reaches the nominal temperature within an air-to-water heat pump. When the simulation ends I get this warning:

* Warning * GetSpecificHeatGlycol: Temperature is out of range (too high) for fluid [CIRCUITO SOLARE GLYCOL CONCENTRATION] specific heat * * ~~~ ** ..Called From:UpdateSolarCollector,Temperature=[126.21], supplied data range=[-20.00,125.00]

which is a recurring error. I have gone through all the questions I have found on this topic but never could find a solution to fix this issue. I am working with Design Builder v4.7, using EnergyPlus 8.4. Any suggestion using either of the software would be good. Even a solution from Open Studio could help.

Edit: if I analyse the outlet temperature from the solar collectors, I never even reach 80°C.
