I have an office building that will use solar pannels to generate hot sanitary water. But it will have an electric heaters aswell for back up. How can I consider this in my Model???.

It depends on the software. Some model solar hot water and some do not. If your software does not you can do the calculations external to the software since service hot water is not an interactive system (does not affect heating and cooling energy use).
