Description

The most logical thing for the spatial albedo table defaults would be to have all of it be 0, but instead all the rows are 5. I don't think this is a showstopper, so let's update it for patch 1 (or decide that the default of 5 is on purpose).

Found in Detailed PV/No Financials default case. Same in 2023.12.17 release.

Research direction

Start with the Detailed PV/No Financials default case and inspect how the spatial albedo table rows receive their defaults. Compare the behavior with the 2023.12.17 release and determine whether the value 5 is intentional; done means the intended default is documented or the table consistently uses the corrected value.
