PV Default updates#793

Reviewing these now, you may already be planning to build SAM_api before merging but I think this is one of those times where we need to if I understood correctly. |

@janinefreeman I just pushed a commit for wind system size and capex updates. You had a separate testing item for wind costs outside of ATB updates, but I updated these values using ATB utility wind and offshore wind values so not sure if this is what was expected. Happy to revert the commit if not. @brtietz already updated the capacity O&M values to match that of the ATB. |

That sounds perfect. As more defaults align with the ATB, we have fewer that need to be updated separately :) |

Pending updates to test script results, I would say this looks reasonable so far. @mjprilliman I'm done with my updates, let me know when you'd like me to review again

Changes to make the ppa prices the default for electricity purchases caused the generic battery and standalone battery configs to fail because they were still on 'Specify IRR target' mode. Determining reasonable PPA prices and re-running the test script before merging. |
Description
Update default values for PV Systems based on latest ATB spreadsheet. Utility-scale PV was modeled as single axis tracking system in the ATB so the default was modified for PV and PVWatts. The DC - AC ratios were adjusted in PVWatts to the latest benchmark report value of 1.15 (from 1.2). Test results were updated with new default values.
