Hi @chris,
Glad and exited about the implementation of PV in the LBT. Thanks for that!!
Saying so, I can’t make it work.
I’m getting the following error in the Photovoltaic component:
Runtime error (ImportException):
Failed to import honeybee_energy:
cannot import generator from honeybee_energy
Traceback:
line 123, in script
I updated with the Versioner a couple of times and restarted Rhino, just in case you are asking …
Not related, but in the same file, i see in the SHW component in the _condition_ input that is supposed to be a number for the ambient temperature, is connected to an hb_obj (room). When i connect a number instead of a room i get an error. I believe there is a bug in this one.
Thank you for testing. It seems there was a hiccup in our CI that prevented all of the PV dependencies from releasing correctly. I think that I just fixed it:
Try running the Versioner now and let me know if that fixes it.
If so, just change the _system_type to be anything other than a heat pump and then you won’t need to use a Room in order to specify the _condition_. For example, an electric water heater is fine with a number in degrees C for the condition:
Hi @chris . For some reason the photovoltaic sample file is failing to run in Rhino 8 while it works fine in Rhino 7. I have run versioner couple of times.
I do all of my initial testing in Rhino 8 these days so my initial reaction is that the difference between Rhino 7 and 8 is not to blame. You can see that it’s running fine in Rhino 8 on my end:
