Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging of solar panels - number of modules

[gregory]

  
  
  
IIRC the code for my site only picks up "generator:solar:modules". It also 
picks up "generator:orientation" and "location".
  

  
Incidentally, I think that we've been a bit inconsistent with the latter of 
these. I think that the recommendation is for "roof" and "surface", but I know 
that I've managed to map many as "ground" too, when I've intended the same 
meaning as "surface". I've gradually changed the ones I've mapped over to 
"surface" as and when I've stumbled upon them.

Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging of solar panels - number of modules

[Dan S]

Hi Donald,

If I remember right, we started off last year tagging it as
"generator:modules" but then fairly early on changed to
"generator:solar:modules" to make the tag clearer. The latter's been the
recommendation on this wiki page, for a good while:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_Kingdom/Rooftop_Solar_PV

I don't know which tag(s) Gregory's page picks up, but in my (separate)
processing I've been handling both tag variants.

Cheers
Dan

[Talk-GB] Tagging of solar panels - number of modules

[Donald Noble]

Hi,

I have a query regarding tagging of solar panels, and specifically the
number of modules for (domestic) rooftops. I have been tagging these with
just generator:modules, but I see that generator:solar:modules is a lot
more popular on TagInfo [1], although I don't seem to find specific
documentation on the solar mapping page.

This issue came up as I was surprised by the low percentage for Edinburgh
with a number of modules on Gregory William's excellent Solar Mapping stats
page [2].

If there is a clear consensus, I will re-tag those I have added (which is
possibly a significant number of the 1161)

Cheers, Donald
