Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

@John, I like the direction this is going but there are valid objections to using the word power to begin the tag. I think there will be a need to create a new shop tag either way. Furthermore, shop=power_equipment is in use already and although there's no Wiki entry for it, a quick Overpass

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.

Re: [Tagging] Solar shop

"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

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

[Tagging] Solar shop

I came across a shop in my town today that sells solar power generating equipment for home and larger scale projects, .e.g, street lighting for municipalities. There is no tagging that I can locate other than that used for tagging power generating facilities that use solar energy. I am
