* Fixed :py:func:`pvlib.pvsystem.retrieve_sam` silently ignoring the `path` parameter
when `name` was provided. Now an exception is raised requesting to only provide one

Not a blocker, but anyone consider using a constant INTERNAL_DBS at the top of the module instead of defining it on every call?

I feel like something only used in a function is better placed near it, and I doubt the extra computation time does save significant time when there will be two calls at most in a script.

In general beware of placing too many executions in try-except or else isolating exceptions can be more difficult. Best to limit one operation with known exceptions
