The Solar Panel is a Power source that generates a maximum of 40 units of power when the sun is shining. The amount of Power generated is strongly dependent on the weather and time of day. The Solar Panel is often used in conjunction with Battery Storage devices that store power for use when the Solar Panel is not generating sufficient Power.
The Solar Panel can be placed on a foundation or ceiling. Before players can craft the Solar Panel, they must first find the associated Technology Blueprint.
The Power generated by the Solar Panel and other sources of power can be managed using the Control Panel.
The recipe for the Solar Panel is found in the Placeables section of the Build Menu under Power.
