Planetbase Solar Panel

So lets say all your panel is at 75 output so we add 25 to our night time base power consumption as a safe storage amount so as to get through to the morning.

Planetbase solar panel.

In planetbase electricity ticks 30 times per minute. Excess deficit power is then applied to the power collector s. On the storm planet build solar panels windmills and also lightning rods they protect your base and deliver power when hit by lightning and build more power collectors than usual. This was tested only on the starter planet not on the later more difficult planets.

During each tick every building s listed power rating is subtracted from the power grid or added in the case of solar panels wind turbines. Solar flares are a type of natural disaster. Therefore 3 large batteries and 2 solar panels will easily handle 76 kw of power demand. Adding the cost of one connection 1 metal to the cost of building the actual solar panel the power generation per metal is therefore 10kw per metal regardless of size.

They do not cause damage to structures but any colonists who are outside will become injured with radiation sickness. During solar flares solar panels will operate at maximum capacity. Damage from solar flares can be prevented by setting a yellow or red alert once a control center has been built. Two very large solar panels will fill 3 to 4 large batteries.

You might have an educated guess that the panel gets fixed when they reach a good status which is about 75 of full output. E g you might have one massive solar panel generating 40 kw.
