In the SAM team meeting on 11/1, we determined the best way to resolve the losses issue in #912 and NatLabRockies/SAM#1165 is to convert the REopt call to use prod_factor_series_kw. This allows us to set the losses to zero, so we can define whatever convention is needed for SAM users for the annual_total_loss_percent variable. prod_factor_series_kw also allows more accurate battery dispatch. The only reason it isn't being used currently is it did not exist when the code was written originally.
