Size of yellow blobs #437

Current the yellow blobs for size don't quite seem right.

I think letting the radius be r = {yield}^0.5. this means Area is proportional the yield.

Dan via Vercel Preview:

The "visual weight" of the coloured in circles should be greater. I'm not sure of the pixel count, but maybe it feels like if I look at a GSP with 20% yield, the yellow ball looks like way less than 20%.
Options could be:
a) when working our the radius the yellow ball should be, calcualte the generation as a % of 80% of the max capacity. This is becasue solar panels never get to full capacity, so we would be safe with 80%. b) work out the radius of the yellow ball such that the square of the radius is equal to the fraction of the square of the capacity (I.e. a ratio of areas, whcih will make the radius of the smaller dot larger compared to a simple linear method).

a) My panels do reach 100%, so IM not sure this is the best option b) yea I like this. similar what I said above
