Assumptions : 1.
All solar panels are tilted as per the site latitude to perform at their best efficiency 2. All the solar cells are connected in series in a solar module 3. 600Volts, 5/7.6 Amps, 200 Watts PV system is used for all residential , commercial and industrial applications. The number of modules will vary based on the surface area 4. A power derating of 10-15% is applied to take account of power losses and conversion in-efficiencies of the inverter.

Checks for climate object and maps the climate variables to the house object variables.
Currently Tout, RHout and solar flux data from TMY files are used. If no climate object is linked, then Tout will be set to 59 degF, RHout is set to 75% and solar flux will be set to zero for all orientations.
