Description

Default updates for battery systems, PV systems. Changes include:

-Update battery system defaults based on ATB battery data, Utility scale PV plus battery
-Battery sizes
-Updates to defaults to make economics make sense
-ILR updates for PV FOM
-Update PV Residential systems to have losses based on DC Optimizers (inverter costs are already in line with DC Optimizers)
-Potential increase in system size for PV, PVWatts Residential systems based on tracking the sun reported median residential system size of 6.4 kW

Changes look great!

One note worth sharing, since I had to puzzle through it - the single owner PV battery costs of $1.55/Wdc do correspond to the ATB utility scale pv plus battery costs after converting to Wac (multiply by 1.3).
