Detailed PV and PV-Battery hourly and hourly lifetime discrepancy #1684

Describe the bug

For the Detailed PV and PV-Battery (pvsamv1) model, outputs reported as "hourly" and "hourly lifetime" have different values for some time steps. Attempting to reconcile hourly "electricity to x from y" with hourly lifetime variables like "System power generated" and "Electricity to/from grid AC" makes it unclear to users what data SAM is using for bill calculations, battery dispatch, electricity to/from grid, etc.

See attached .sam files and Excel workbook: test-hourly-vs-lifetime.zip

Tested on Windows 11 with SAM 2023.12.17 and SAM 2022.11.21.
