Integer number of inverters per transformer

[blthayer]

On a whim, I changed my configured number of transformers (num_transformers) from 1 to 3. When attempting to run the case, I get the following error: Error loading and verifying case: There must be an integer number of inverters per transformer!

This seems like a bit of a nuisance error IMO. It seems well within the realm of possibility (though maybe not typical) that a different number of inverters might be "under/downstream" of the different transformers.

Perhaps pvrpm could round and emit a warning, or model transformers having different numbers of inverters beneath them.

I think we could round, but from the way PVRPM is built and my understanding an even number of inverters to transformers is needed. Rounding and emitting a warning that it was rounded can work although I am of the belief that the user should have a proper configuration before running rather then having a possibly incorrect configuration and assuming by rounding.

Fair enough!
