Overview
Introduced in update Update 01.022.000 Solar Panels are thin long panel blocks that produces power when exposed in direct sunlight. Their Power output increased in update Update 01.039.000 to 120kw (0.12MW) for large ship panels, and 30kw (0.03MW) for small ship panels.
Usage
Solar Panels are for generating a small amount of power. Power generated depends on the angle to the sun and whether or not the panel is in shadow. Produces a small amount of power compared to Reactors, but can be enough to keep core systems (e.g. the Medical Room) running in case of a fault. A key component is Solar Cells, which is one of the more expensive Components needed in order to construct it.
The panels are best used with Batteries set to recharge or auto mode, so as to create MW power output when required, for short periods. For example two Batteries charged by solar panels is able to power a 5MW required machine (refinery, assembler etc) for as long as the batteries remain charged.
