Revision history [back]
The measure you are looking at is an old EnergyPlus measure, that pre-dates PV support in OpenStudio. That is fine, it still works, but this post shows how to add PV directly in the SketchUp plugin .
In both cases PhotovoltaicPerformance:Simple is used.
If you want to change the inverter efficiency you can change this string or expose an argument for it in the existing measure you are using.

Battery storage isn't in OpenStudio, so you would need an EnergyPlus measure for that.
