If it's unclear I would just leave electricity:grid untagged as there's
no way to know if it's yes or no (another advantage of the namespace
tagging). In some areas, I think one could relatively safely assume that
if all other houses are connected to the grid, that one likely is too.
However, Tagging the presence of a generator is definitely easier to
see and would be more important for firefighters to know (islanding).
Mostly I would probably say that the vast majority of private houses
probably don't need to be tagged in this detail and it definitely is
they type of information I've seen advertised at hotels and camp sites
where one wouldn't have to get all creepy to figure it out.
Also, if I understood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_inverter
correctly, all of the different inverter types you mentioned are, one
way or another, connected to the grid. That might be another level of
detail one wants to map, but doesn't need to be worked into
electrical:grid I think? (I don't own either solar panels or a house
that they could go on though, so I'm not completely informed on this topic!)

That IS what I mean. However, STILL left unsaid is that short of ringing the doorbell
and asking the home / business owner "are your solar panels grid-tied, battery-feed,
directly converted to an inverter...?" you don't really know.
How will you tag those buildings? (I feel a nose sniffing up my, um, house).
Really, there isn't any way to know, without getting creepy - snoopy.

If I understood you correctly, this would fall under grid-connected houses that
I mentioned in the last example. This was the specific reason why I think
namespace tagging seems to be clearer. The house would then be tagged with:
building=house
electricity=yes
electricity:generator=yes
electricity:grid=yes
electricity:generator:origin=solar
electricity:access=no
By tagging both electricity:grid=yes and electricity:generator=yes this
specifies that the building is connected to both and both are routinely used.
In contrast, it would also be possible to tag electricity:generator=backup if
the generator is only on when the grid fails.
Is this what you meant by grid-tie?
