I'm using the query function in QuickOSM plugin

[out:json];
area["name"=United Kingdom"]->.searchArea;
nwr(area.searchArea)["generator:source"="solar['generator:output:electricity'='yes'];
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

But it is not returning any results. It runs and then disappears. If I use Overpass Turbo it times out.

How can I do this?

  • fyi if you download the csv and filter by Solar Photovoltaics you will get the solar farms with Eastings and Northings (OSGB36) assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/…
