Simulink PV array block output NaN

I am trying to simulate MPPT using a fuzzy logic controller. I am new to simulink and I tried to use the PV Array block from Simscape/Electrical. The problem I have with this block is that when I run the simulation, the voltage and the current at the output of the PV Array are NaN, except for a very short period of time at the beginning of the simulation.
I tried to simulate the PV array block alone and I get the same problem, even if I connect a voltage measurement at +- terminals the result is still NaN. I also checked the box for breaking the algebraic loop but my problem is not solved.
If anyone has an idea how to solve this problem I would be grateful, I have not found someone with the same problem so far.
Thank You!

Any answer for this problem? i got the same issue
I have the same irritating problem. For me using variable time step solver is not an option.
What version of matlab u r using bro...I'm doing the same thing for my btech project and I can't find the pv array block itself. Mine is 2013a version . How or where can I find the pv array block
Did yoy find a answer for this problem or still not ?

I am facing similar problem, getting nan in the output....tried the solution mentioned in MATLAB , dint work...anyone found solution to this
did you got the answer?
I got the same problem, does anyone find the solution?
click on solar pv, go to advanced and unclick the break algebraic loop, this might help
thank you so much
uncheck of 'break algebraic loop' is working. thank you
