Hello, I am doing a simulation of a Chilean house and I use the measure Add Rooftop Pv in Openstudio. My question is: What data exposed in the summary of results help me calculate the amount of solar panels that the house requires ?. The second question is whether to apply this measure (Add rooftop PV) how can i calculate the amount of solar panels used and, if the answer is yes, how this calculation is made. The imputations of this measure are: Fraction of the surface area with active solar cells (Fraction), Cell efficiency (Fraction) and Efficiency of the inverter (Fraction).

Hi, I am making a comparison between two models for a Chilean house. One with hvac split converter for hvac and water heater by natural gas without solar collector and the other with solar collector flat plate for water heater and the same hvac model, but with pv panels with the Add Rooftop PV measure. I am new in openstudio and I don't know the difference between the two models, or the difference is very little among them. If someone could help me, it would be of great value to me. If someone wants me to send you the model here is my email: felipe.mocarquer@gmail.com

I can't upload photos.
