Nice work, would love to see more roof top solar panels mapped.

The Tasking Manager https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tasking_Manager might
suit this better than MapRoulette, since Tasking Manager breaks an area up
into tiles and you go in, choose a tile, complete it, then upload. It helps
track progress, avoid conflicts and ensures a whole area is done without
gaps in coverage.

MapRoulette works differently, it's based on identifying features already
which need some work.

> start_date=* - set to the date of the LPI NSW Imagery - or should this be
rather source:date=*??

start_date is when the feature started, so when the solar panel was
installed, you can just do YYYY if you only know the year or YYYY-MM if you
only know the month, but if you don't know you can omit it. source:date is
better for the imagery date.
