Solar panels drawing in a solar farm

1

Hi How can I quickly draw quite a lot of solar panels in a solar farm ? Potlatch2 has a copy tool in a one at a time basis. Any quicker solution? TIA RGDS see: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/62295220#map=17/38.18120/-7.19769

Just mapping the area seems ok to me. Mapping each panel seems too detailed. see https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.3748/-0.1998

If you can say one thing about OSM, it'll be that for someone for a particular class of object there's no such thing as "too detailed" :)

Tks In your example the sat photos do not show any solar panels. Maybe is a quite new solar farm.

If you search, there are solar farms where solar panels (individual or in a row) are draw. Just a few examples: In Germany: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/5097254 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/51.01845/13.80131 In USA: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/436432335#map=13/45.3888/-122.7283 in Portugal: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/38.05359/-8.13640 Rgds TL
