Sorry I didn't say it clearly.
I know that many users including me would map hundreds of adjacent PV panelsas a single OSM area. It won't be ambiguous at cases on the ground because
we can draw the boundary of a power plant like the wiki example:https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/43.2724/6.0215

Actually my case consists 350W/each module, 181 MW total peak power,
and the size is 175 ha. It is easily found on the Bing aerial imagehttps://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=24.120074~120.424741&style=h&lvl=15
And it is obvious to divide those into 4 separate district but a mapper just
drew a single area in OSM.
I tried to draw a sketch to clarify between ground and floating power plant.

IMHO, I don't like to describe whether a solar installation a power plant or
not by peak power but output voltage. It depends on how those inverter
connect to the power gird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_inverter
I've ever seen a 5 MW solar rooftop on giant factory not far from my home.
That should not be seen as a solar farm (as I think).

I don't like this practice the way someone mapped this object because it
broke the water body of a lake. How it been rendered is a technical problem
fixed in a technical way. Other map style not using the plant feature would
see a strange hole inside a lake?

sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can amend the wiki?
