Great work Dan. A couple of the larger solar farms which don't seem to have repd:ids are on water company land. The one I've looked for a few times is the floating solar panels <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/523645138> on Godley Reservoir. I've also been unable to reconcile the panels <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/53.02733/-2.95015> (currently without a surrounding plant) which are at the Five Farms Water Treatment Plant, just S of Wrexham Industrial Estate. So I have been wondering if installations on water company land are different in some way.
It's also worth noting that several of us have continued mapping rooftop solar in the past 6 weeks and we should pass 120k mapped installations in the next day or so. A big shout out for gurglypipe who has mapped a huge number around Lancaster as areas. My own focus started in Wrexham district as I visited it in the middle of October which meant I ground-truthed a number of ones already mapped, and enabled me to add quite a few others. More recently I've been aiming to connect existing hotspots by bringing LAs which connect them up to 50% (Halton, Rochdale & Oldham already done, Warrington, Barnsley, Kirklees & Doncaster current targets). There's still a lot of work to ensure every rooftop installation has an building underneath. Gregory's site reports these at the detailed level, but not at LSOA or LA. I suppose there's scope to create MapRoulette challenges. On the debit side I have also created a lot of fixmes which I can now clear up: there's an estate on the edge of Runcorn with building integrated solar panels which looked a bit like solar hot water. Fortunately after having mapped them I discovered a promotional write up by the manufacturer. I just need to decide on the relevant tag (see the wiki page <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_Kingdom/Rooftop_Solar_PV#Types_of_rooftop_solar_PV> ).
