<div>All,</div>
<br>
<div>I've also been working on a comparison tool for OSM solar mapping, as compared with the FiT register. I've just placed an initial version here:</div>
<br>
<div>
<div><a href="https://link.getmailspring.com/link/9144B288-8B95-41E3-89BB-5774019241EF@getmailspring.com/0?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fosm.gregorywilliams.me.uk%2Fsolar&recipient=dGFsay1nYkBvcGVuc3RyZWV0bWFwLm9yZw%3D%3D" title="http://osm.gregorywilliams.me.uk/solar">http://osm.gregorywilliams.me.uk/solar</a><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>My version compares at LLSOA level and then aggregates them up to their local authorities and the whole country. It's been pretty much inspired by Robert Whittaker and Greg RS's ever-useful comparison tools. It's functional, but still needs some polish.
Known issues include<span data-emoji-typing="true">:</span></div>
<br>
<ul>
<li>
<div>Currently updated manually. I currently hope to update every few days, and eventually daily;</div>
</li><li>
<div>The tool differentiates between solar plants and generators, and avoids counting individual generators in a plant. Currently, though, it counts plants towards completeness, even though it's likely that these are solar farms in excess of the size used in
the FiT register;</div>
</li><li>
<div>Only the number of installations is used for comparison at present, not the electricity output;</div>
</li><li>
<div>There are only maps on the local authority pages at the moment, not on the country summary page.</div>
</li></ul>
<br>
<div>I aim to add some more functionality to the site over the next few days and weeks.</div>
<br>
<div>Regards,</div>
<br>
<div>Gregory</div>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<br>
<div>Following up on this thread about tools to support solar mapping -</div>
<div>just to say that thanks to Sylwia Mielnicka there's a map of</div>
<div>completeness-per-postcode-district:</div>
<div>https://bl.ocks.org/SylwiaOliwia2/cf0d679e81a7c8bfee8888189ec364bb</div>
<div>I think this is going to get set up to run daily updates or similar.</div>
<div>Discussion forum:</div>

<br>
<div>There's also a chance that we can get this at higher granularity (for</div>
<div>England and Wales) at least, by using LSOAs rather than postcode</div>
<div>districts. Another person has said they'll have a go at merging the</div>
<div>two granularities.</div>

<div>Hi</div>
<br>
<div>Related to the idea of solar panel mapping, I've had a request for</div>
<div>info about what sort of software tools might help support this work.</div>
<div>We might be using some of the familiar tools (e.g. streetcomplete,</div>
<div>openinframap, ... even tasking manager?).</div>
<br>
<div>It'd be useful to have something like</div>
<div>completeness-by-postcode-district. Unlike Robert's postbox tools, we</div>
<div>don't have any official ID numbers for the items-to-map, we just have</div>
<div>some official stats (to be taken with a pinch of salt) about how many</div>
<div>are in each postcode district - but still, that could be a start.</div>
<br>
<div>I'd also be interested in some tool that predicts where to look, which</div>
<div>might be based on analysing imagery, but perhaps more realistically</div>
<div>based on some mix of heuristics and official data.</div>
<br>
<div>Any thoughts?</div>
<br>
<div>Best</div>
<div>Dan</div>
