There are a few methods in the data base. I looked in taginfo for the 
value solar;
the dominate one with over 160,000 uses is generator:source=solar
Of course this would need to be combined wit the tag power=generator.
This is an existing tag .. I see no limit on the size of the power 
generation so small should be fine.

If it has none of the above tags ... then it may have no electricity. 
Could be the default state for rural Africa.
Adding the tag power=no maybe an idea?
There is a little use of things like power_source=no, power_supply=no.
