Solution exception:Direct Normal Radiation Data Collection is not aligned with Fraction Data Collection

When I use the “apply analysis period” to the results coming out of the EPW file before passing it to the “Calculate Solar MRT” component, I get this error:

  1. Solution exception:Direct Normal Radiation Data Collection is not aligned with Fraction Data Collection.
    If I do not do the apply analysis period and pass it all to this, then it works. But then I am calculating 8760 values when I really do not want to, I only want a few hours of the year.

Any ideas? @chris @mostapha

Hi @remyweather ,

Sorry for the late response here. The LB Outdoor Solar MRT component has a lot of inputs and you need to apply the analysis period to all of them for it to work. Here is an example:
