Perhaps we could improve this reference as well. Looking at the citing SAM webpage, I can't see a specific reference for the database. If we just want a general reference, as the current reference is supposed to be, we could go for something like:

I don't think we should cite a particular verion of SAM, since pvlib doesn't promise that it distributes files from that version. Replacing the CEC module and inverter files with more up-to-date versions is #1345
