Stuck at "initializing solar calculation"

Hi, due to the relatively complex geometry setting, I used honeybee to generate an IDF file and tried to run the simulation on EnergyPlus. However, it keeps stuck at the "initializing solar calculation" stage and didn't proceed further. I would be much appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

Are you sure it is stuck? How long have you waited? How many surfaces are in your model?

more than 3 hours. The building geometry itself is not complicated, just that I added some PV panels on a detached surface, that is about 1m away from the building façade.

When you remove the PV and detached surfaces, is it getting further?

Sorry, I'm not sure what the issue is. Your response showed up as an answer, I think you just meant it to be a comment.

Yes. Did separated tests and find out that it is mainly due to the detached PV panels defined and multiple thermal zones.
