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-4
displays ITC as$-688.54M
but the probably-corresponding line item in cash flow is$791,817,681

Fervo_Project_Cape-4
,example_SAM-single-owner-PPA
, &example_SAM-single-owner-PPA-2

output field.
