Hello everyone,  
I think it’s a simple question, but I kinda don’t know what’s happing…  
I was learning Honeybee PV renewable energy to cover zone energy consumption and using the file from  
[[http://hydrashare.github.io/hydra/viewer?owner=chriswmackey&fork=hydra\_2&id=Energy\_Simulation\_With\_Photovoltaics](http://hydrashare.github.io/hydra/viewer?owner=chriswmackey&fork=hydra_2&id=Energy_Simulation_With_Photovoltaics)].  
The example did work, however, when I try to operate the scrips flow on my own. Its results cannot show the produced energy data, wondering why?

Please give me some advice, thanks!

Not 100% sure of this response but you might have to plug in a component into the `energySimPar_` bit of the main Open studio node. That way you specific which variables are to be dumped into the simulation output file

I believe this was already approached [here](https://discourse.ladybug.tools/t/not-showing-generation-system-results-when-calculated-with-openstudio/5357/4).

Really thank you, Abraham. It works!
