Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

@tomoya: I think there would be numerous valid objections to using the generator:source tag that way. IMO it is clearly designed to describe a power generating facility. The shop is not generating electricity; it is selling solar equipment that might be used in a generating facility but it does

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

We have already 'generator:source' tag. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dgenerator So how about to use 'shop=generator' ? 'shop=generator' + 'generator:source=solar' means solar power generator seller. And we can specify a wind turbine seller also.

"even solar_equipment is too limiting." Quite right, SwiftFast. The value you suggest tells the story better. On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 8:37 AM, SwiftFast wrote: > If we're talking about renewable energy in general, then even > solar_equipment is too limiting. Wind turbines

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

If we're talking about renewable energy in general, then even solar_equipment is too limiting. Wind turbines are not solar equipment. Maybe shop=renewable_energy_equipment ? On Mon, 2017-07-31 at 07:19 -0800, Dave Swarthout wrote: > The term photovoltaic refers to the mechanism used by certain

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

I'm no expert but it appears the expression "photovoltaic" may exclude a bit too much. There are solar power generation technologies which are not based on photovoltaic cells. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine However, for home or small scale use, I suspect

[Tagging] Feature proposal - RFC - Transformers extension

Hi all, I recently completed my draft for power transformer extension proposal https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Transformer_extension_proposal It introduces tags but no replacement of previously reviewed ones. Main adds are as follow: voltage:primary voltage:secondary

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

The term photovoltaic refers to the mechanism used by certain solar devices to generate electricity. In this case, it describes a device that is using sunlight to create electricity, i.e., a photovoltaic panel. I'm asking about a shop that sells photovoltaic panels along with related alternative

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

I believe the correct expression is photovoltaic (which would exclude hot water generation etc though). Am 31.07.2017 um 09:07 schrieb SwiftFast: > The word "solar" alone is a synonym for "Diesel Fuel" in some countries > and can cause confusion. I'd advise using solar_equipment or >

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

The word "solar" alone is a synonym for "Diesel Fuel" in some countries and can cause confusion. I'd advise using solar_equipment or solar_devices instead. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org
