Saw this on /r/homeassistant, thought it was pretty cool looking, even though I don't have solar.

This is a total nitpick because the tool looks cool. Could we maybe just refer to it as solar power systems? We just had an article headline about hackers attacking thousands of solar systems. A solar system is already an established thing.

    Yeah, I was really confused when I followed the link. I was expecting astronomy, not clean energy. Still cool, just not the right words.

    We only have one solar system. Sol is the name of our star. Every other system of planets around one or more stars is a star system.

    If humans ever leave the Solar system and take the PV Panels we use now with us, they will no longer produce solar power... (This is a gripe I have with the Starfield game).

    We have PV Power Systems...
