A lot of solar panels I have tagged are private little installations (farmers
convert a rice field to solar, with about 100 panels in a couple rows), and I
tag the solar panel rows/sets individually using those tags.
But what land use is appropriate for the land? It is usually easily mappable
because almost all solar panel arrays I have seen are fenced on the property
lines.
I have been using landuse=commercial, but from some recent conversations about
industrial, it seems I am probably wrong - though tagging industrial use land
in the middle of residential/farm area seems a little weird. A lot of rice
fields get converted to construction storage yards (commercial), so that is
where my thinking came from.
Example:

Farmers cleared some scrub and fenced off land for some panels. They have added
a few more (not mapped yet).
This is all used to power the local buildings, and the extra dumped back on the
grid - it's not some solar farm to generate grid electricity for the utility
company.
Thoughts?
