Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient.
Empyrion solar panels tutorial.
I can t seem to place them one the roofs.
Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power.
If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s.
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.
I m new to the game.
As a guide each panel can produce 50 60kw of power so you can produce up to about 1mw of power.
This means in order to make a base sustainable you re looking at a maximum of 300kw of consumption.
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.
As such it.
When i think i have succeeded they just hover in the air and seemingly do nothing then i have to salvage them.
The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel.
The tutorial quickly sends you off to find a deserted base with some power.
Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel.
