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...

Battery manual dispatch BTM system priority option.

Marine wave include Alaska resource, and new "User values from wave resource file" option.

Revise annual energy and add cash flow energy items.

Revise capacity factor and system capacity table for PV DC and AC capacity

Update pv land area for #1127

Bifacial and spatial albedo.

GETEM revisions

Module efficiency per NatLabRockies/ssc#228

PVWatts versions in PVWatts top-level description: #1159

PDF / CDF tab P-value

PV uncertainty

Custom HTF optional properties

Capacity payments units.

Solar water heating change IAM coefficient label and remove total system flow rate.

Add link to PV smoothing preprint.

PV terrain slope clarification not available for non 1-axis tracking options.

NPV tips for interpreting NPV with links from other financial metrics.

LCOE calculator note about modeling incentives.

Battery results: Battery lifetime AC/DC units

Operating costs: Fix AC/DC units, revise escalation.

PV losses: Explain percentages for transformer losses, and list output variable names.

Grid outage explain battery SOC may go up to 100%: https://sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3977-battery-soc-when-constrained.html

Remove inputs browser link to parametrics youtube video.

Merchant plant: Note that revenue is zero if cleared capacity is zero for all time steps.

Revenue: Add link to CPUC procurement website for TOD factor library references

Replace "REopt Lite" with "REopt" per #1090

Inverter, Weighted Efficiency, update link to European weighted efficiency paper.

Generic CSP solar field area estimate in UI different from simulation value: https://sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3947

PV system design typo in tilt description suggestion to use parametrics: #1084

Fix dead link in Module NOCT temp model description to https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/new-solar-homes-partnership-program-nshp

Self shading diffuse irradiance available for thin film and standard self-shading options since SAM 2020.2.29: https://sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3087
