I try to allow 6 panels for each refinery assembler and using the tracker mod they are more efficient.
How to use solar panels space engineers.
A solar panel attached to a large ship produces a maximum of 120 kw when aimed directly at the sun.
This rotor automatically tracks the sun when built.
My strategy on solar is to use reactors at the start and build batteries and solar panels as resources allow.
Fixed solar panels turned off after ship spawn.
This is how you configure your solar array to track the sun without any programmable block scripts in space engineers.
Fixed update of power in solar panel.
An automatically rotating sun tracking solar panel tower.
Large panels from 6 kw to 120 kw small panels from 1 5 kw to 30 kw.
I also use the azimuth mega mod pack for the azimuth batteries they have a max charge of 9mw.
The power grid gives priority to use of solar power therefore any reactors on the same ship or station can remain active but will only consume uranium once the power draw exceeds the capacity of both the solar panels and the discharging batteries.
Today i set up something i should ve done a long time ago.
