BIPV Problem IntegratedSurfaceOutsideFace mode in PV -

I used Designbuilder to model a BIPV on the southern wall of the building, it works well, when i run the simulation from DesignBuilder Everything works fine , now i tried to export the simulation file to EnergyPles, without any modifications i got the folwing error

* Severe * Must use a surface with internal source construction for IntegratedSurfaceOutsideFace mode in PV

So , basicly EnergyPlus uses IntegratedSurfaceOutsideFace in Heat Transfert integration mode of the Generator:Photovoltaic, The Construction is well set, I dont know where is the problem exaclty ; Plase halp, i need this Thanks
