[Talk-GB] Solar Panels

[Steven Hirschorn]

So I've read through the Wiki pages now and besides a mention somewhere to
distinguish between thermal and photovoltaic panels, I don't see any advice
on how to tell them apart from aerial imagery?
The Overpass query above (thanks!) shows a few thermal panels though even
on a single roof, similar looking panels can have been tagged as a mixture
of thermal and PV. eg on this roof:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=21/51.6480733/-0.5313908
and here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=21/51.6480733/-0.5313908
Is there a tell-tale sign that something is thermal rather than
photovoltaic? Or if I tag them all as PV will someone check them?
