The term photovoltaic refers to the mechanism used by certain solar devices to generate electricity. In this case, it describes a device that is using sunlight to create electricity, i.e., a photovoltaic panel. I'm asking about a shop that sells photovoltaic panels along with related alternative energy devices such as wind turbines, power controllers, battery packs, solar hot-water heaters, etc. Using shop=photovoltaic would be too limited in scope for this purpose.
I would never have guessed that the word "solar" means diesel fuel. I am leaning toward shop=solar_equipment Thanks for the input.
