Proposal and discussion on the forums
This automated edit is part of a larger solar panel mapping project,
Nodes and Relations are currently done as of 13/06/2025
Purpose
The purpose of this edit is to clean up solar panel values and create consistent tagging worldwide. According to TagInfo, at the time of this proposal 96.24% of solar panels worldwide with generator:type=solar_photovoltaic_panel are also tagged with generator:output:electricity=*.
All solar photovoltaic panels produce electricity, the meaning of voltaic is "producing electricity". This leaves around ~200,000 solar panels worldwide missing this tag. This has slowly accumulated over time as tags are forgotten when tagging solar panels. This series of automated edits aims to add this tag to the remaining 3.78% of solar panels missing it.
What This Edit Covers
This edit will add generator:output:electricity=yes to all objects worldwide tagged with generator:type=solar_photovoltaic_panel, with some minimal manual oversite to check for any mistagged objects or objects that aren’t solar panels. This would result in small, cluster based changesets. This edit should have a 100% accuracy, if not its because an object was mistagged already.
As an additional part of this, I will be manually checking and retagging or remapping objects when necessary if the following missing tags are found. These tags are all implied based off other tags on the object, but I will manually review these to look for any edge cases, as in testing these occurred often.
