…y_net (#1501)

* initial host developer fixes

* Update all Excel workbooks to use cf_energy_sales instead of cf_energy_net

* Community Solar use same cash flow energy line items as other fin models

wind degradation set to zero
"battery" degradation set to zero
pvwatts degradation set to 0.5

* Full crit load arrays are required to run the battery

* add hybrids as critical load techs in the load mimo

Fix parametric number of runs updates for hybrids #1541

Update label checks, lowercase handling

Fixes issue #1618

Would like to have additional functionality in inputs browser to better compare across all technologies including hybrids
