[OSM-newbies] How to tag Solar Hot Water panel?

[Bill & Kathy Patterson]

That looks very helpful, Stefano, but I should have thought that "generator:method=thermal" would apply to thermal combustion.  While I agree that old Sol is a heat source, is it not convention that for power generation "thermal" is used for coal, oil, and gas, but not for nuclear or solar?  And then of course there is geothermal.

Hi,you'd need to use the tag power=generator, see this wiki page for informationhttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dgenerator

You'd use probablypower=generatorgenerator:source=solargenerator:output=hot_watergenerator:method=thermalgenerator:output:hot_water=3 kW

and so on, either on a node or an area...

The Everglades National Park has large solar hot water arrays that provide hot water to the restrooms at Flamingo. The panels are mounted on  structures about 20 feet from the restrooms.I cannot find an appropriate tag. Can anyone help. It seems to me there must be thousands if not millions of solar hot water panels in the world.
