Description
Workaround for NREL#404: skip displaying the ITC value for SAM Economic Models because it can be/probably is usually mathematically inaccurate, and even if it's not, it's redundant with the cash flow profile and also misleading/confusing/wrong to display it as a capital cost since it is not a capital expenditure.
For example
Fervo_Project_Cape-4displays ITC as$-688.54Mbut the probably-corresponding line item in cash flow is$791,817,681:Testing & Verification
Regenerated impacted example unit tests:
Fervo_Project_Cape-4,example_SAM-single-owner-PPA, &example_SAM-single-owner-PPA-2. Their results remain the same except for the removal of theInvestment Tax Creditoutput field.
