It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks.
Empyrion solar panels tutorial.
This means in order to make a base sustainable you re looking at a maximum of 300kw of consumption.
The tutorial quickly sends you off to find a deserted base with some power.
Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power.
Having a backup generator is probably a good idea.
Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel.
If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s.
I am now quickly consuming more power than i have so i made solar panels but i can t figure out how to place them.
I can t seem to place them one the roofs.
Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient.
The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel.
As a guide each panel can produce 50 60kw of power so you can produce up to about 1mw of power.
When i think i have succeeded they just hover in the air and seemingly do nothing then i have to salvage them.
In addition any generators present in the base will not consume fuel as long as there is ample solar energy stored in capacitors to meet the base s power needs.
