@kanderso-nrel Thanks for fixing this typo.
We use Help & Manual (H&M) to generate these help HTML files, so these changes will be overwritten the next time we generate them. I fixed the typo in the source files, so your fix will be included in the next version.
Unfortunately, the Help source files are in a proprietary format that requires the H&M software to edit. We hope to convert to another platform better suited for collaborative editing on GitHub, perhaps using Markdown with Jekyll, but that will require effort to convert from H&M.

Got it, thanks @cpaulgilman! I'll keep that in mind for the future. |

PVWatts Battery section should be in collapsible panel. PVWatts module area estimate is wrong (does not include GCR). Spatial results Remove CSP boiler pressure: MSLF Power Cycle, CSP Rankine Power Cycle: #1192 Edit Losses new minute to add period: #1164 Geothermal resource, fix references, and four options for reservoir parameters. Grid Limits: Battery dispatch does not consider interconnection limit. Detailed PV losses nameplate loss can be up to -5%. PVWatts albedo and advanced inputs. Generic calculate generation profiles...

Hello dear SAM team, this fixes a small typo in the Help page for the detailed PV model system design, presumably a copy/paste oversight from the similar GCR text a few lines down.
