  I have been trying to solve this section of a PV panel as shown in the image below, but have been receiving the error, 'Solver pivot warnings or errors have been encountered during the solution. This is usually a result of an ill conditioned matrix possibly due to unreasonable material properties, an under constrained model, or contact related issues. Check results carefully.'

  Please make the simplest version of a Steady State Thermal model you can imagine out of a sheet body. Can you simulate a textbook example where you know the answer? Then try a model with one sheet body divided into two faces. Show that you can solve simple models first.
