The amount of energy produced by solar panels is also dependent on their health. So damaged panels stolen from raided bases will generate less power than new ones. Repair them with HQM before or after placing them. This was quite a head-scratcher for me when i tried to use stolen panels.

Panels do not block each other, so they can be placed close or even clipping into each other without losing power.

Unlike the wind turbine that works both day and night the Large solar panel only generates power if its facing towards the sun Less sunlight = Less power

The sun that you can see isn't the sun that powers solar panels. The actual "sun" is somewhere in the middle on the map, its position depends on the env.month variable and is somewhere around the middle of the map. To achieve maximal efficiency, you should place your solar panel facing north if you are in the south of the map and facing south if you are in the north of the map. This was experimentaly proven.

Point the solar panel to the center of the map, as if it was the equator line. If you are close to the center put 1 facing north, 1 facing south and check the one that is getting 20 power the most of the day.

Large solar panels generate 0-20 power during the day. It will only generate power during the day so make sure you have connected to a rechargeable battery for maximum performance.
NOTE: If your large solar panel suddenly stops producing as much power as it used to check the durability. The lower the durability the less power the panel can produce.

  • Place facing towards the center of the map. Credit to Adder
  • Can be clipped through certain building blocks to work behind them. My favorite being roofs.

The sun rises more to the northeast and sets to slightly northwest. placing panels facing exactly north gets maximum power for most of the day if you do not want to double up panels facing sunrise/sunset

Placement


Place one facing West and one facing East to generate the most optimal power during the entire day
remember to usa a Root Combiner to connect them toghether.
TIP: Batteris cant charge and provide power at the same time.
