I have a solar array on my roof. If I find my house in OSM, there’s a lightning bolt icon indicating there’s a solar array present. Not only that, but the exact layout of the panels in my roof is shown. I never submitted this info to anyone, Google Maps Satellite view doesn’t show them. I’m really curious where OSM got such detailed data.

    Is this actually helpful? The authorities and provider should already have this data. I don’t see why OSM should take up this responsibility.
