You might not, but someone else will. We all like to map different things. This node is a decent example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2671563575 power=generator generator:method=thermal generator:output:hot_water=yes generator:source=solar generator:type=solar_thermal_collector (took me a while to find it: got waylaid finding accounts registered by solar sales spammers, grrr …) > and second perhaps something more concise to prevent filling up the > database quite so much. It might seem long, but some thought has gone into the Power tagging scheme. I don't necessarily agree with it all, but I know that unless I stick with the current scheme, none of my edits will be understood as power infrastructure. “Thermal” in the generation side usually means electrical generation from some kind of turbine driven by a heat source, typically able to generate supercritical steam. These solar water heaters run a smidge cooler than that, but are still very useful. cheers, Stewart
