[Talk-GB] Tools to support solar panel mapping?

[SK53]

For solar panels as nodes I have been adding two things which could fulfil
these criteria:

   - A count of solar panel modules (the roughly 1.5 by 1 m individual
   panels) with generator:solar:modules.
   - Orientation (as generator:orientation) which can be in degrees or one
   of the 16 points of the compass.

The former is probably the most useful, as it is a good proxy for optimum
power capacity (roughly 320-370 W per module) and thus could be used
immediately in things like OpenInfraMap. Orientation is just one factor in
determining likely actual capacity which would be quite complex. It is
useful when an installation spreads over more than one part of the roof.
