#839 solar pv does not handle lack of parent inverter gracefully,

[nikhilgupta10]

module generators; object solar { generator_mode SUPPLY_DRIVEN; generator_status ONLINE; panel_type SINGLE_CRYSTAL_SILICON; efficiency 0.2; area 2500; }

This model starts out trying to do without a parent by warning that no parent
is defined it will use static voltages. But then the simulation
crashes on a null pointer.

Recommend the object either work ok with static voltage or exit
on an error that a parent inverter is required.

  "laurmarinovici":Fixed the code to check whether the solar has no parent, or has the wrong parent (other than inverter). Merged the changes to version 3.1, so now I am closing the ticket.,
