Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

I was thinking the same thing on the "hot-spots" functionality the other day. I've just added that now. There's now a layer chooser, allowing choice between "Comparison" (as before) and "FiT", which colours between the least and most installations according to the FiT register in that local

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

A few other things: - In practice we have relatively little mapped, so identifying 'hot-spot' LSOAs quickly would be very useful. I just had a browse around and found a few with around 50 FIT installations around the village of Selston (Ashfield District). I haven't got them all, but

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

Thanks Jerry. I've spotted the bug and am regenerating the output now. Regards, Gregory Sent from Mailspring, the

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

Hi Gregory, I suspect this does not currently take account of roof-top solar power mapped as nodes. My last tally for Nottingham is a total of 4,385 solar PV generators (3,760 mapped as nodes, 625 as ways), compared with your total of 621. I added solar panels on 3 houses on Saturday (one with 2

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

All, I've also been working on a comparison tool for OSM solar mapping, as compared with the FiT register. I've just placed an initial version here:

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

My bad. No IDs in the recent fit reports, but they *used* to publish them. The September 2016 files show the fit ID. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/environmental-programmes/fit/contacts-guidance-and-resources/public-reports-and-data-fit/installation-reports Best, Rob

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

I note that the FiT register data does have the LLSOA for each entry. So I think that could be used as a means of measuring completeness in a more granular manner than local authority or the first half of the postcode. The OSM data can also be determined per LLSOA. Both the number of

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

Thanks Rob - we're using the FiT register already, but please note that it doesn't disclose any official IDs (for privacy reasons, I presume) so there's no "primary key", no definitive way to join the dots e.g. across different versions of the FiT data. The REPD has a primary key but it only

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

> we don't have any official ID numbers for the items-to-map I'm almost certain I have pointed it out here already, but in case not: any solar PV installation which is receiving a subsidy will be registered and will therefore have an ID. Larger installations are installed in the Renewable

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

For solar panels as nodes I have been adding two things which could fulfil these criteria: - A count of solar panel modules (the roughly 1.5 by 1 m individual panels) with generator:solar:modules. - Orientation (as generator:orientation) which can be in degrees or one of the 16 points

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

A few thoughts: 1. The technologies used by OpenSolarMap by Christian Quest and others Etalab.could be applied to OS OpenLocal buildings with a suitable training set. The original French data used high quality imagery classified by cloud sourcing as to roof orientation (flat, E-W or

Re: [Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

Obviously we are talking about home/small-scale solar here. It could get quite involved, I'm sure that people are running whole businesses trying to analyse satellite imagery for this. Need to keep it simple and practical for this project, unless people have lots of time and energy to spare. An

[Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

Hi Related to the idea of solar panel mapping, I've had a request for info about what sort of software tools might help support this work. We might be using some of the familiar tools (e.g. streetcomplete, openinframap, ... even tasking manager?). It'd be useful to have something like
