Hi, I am trying to simulate the PV-performance using the Equivalent one diode model. Doing the simulation the error occurs : invalid pv performance object name. When I am doing the same simulation with the same name using the simple model everything goes well. Has someone a suggestion?

The simple PV model looks like this:
