IIRC the code for my site only picks up "generator:solar:modules". It also 
picks up "generator:orientation" and "location".
  

  
Incidentally, I think that we've been a bit inconsistent with the latter of 
these. I think that the recommendation is for "roof" and "surface", but I know 
that I've managed to map many as "ground" too, when I've intended the same 
meaning as "surface". I've gradually changed the ones I've mapped over to 
"surface" as and when I've stumbled upon them.
