Solar Panel

The Solar Panel is a Power building. It produces Power only during the daylight hours.

Daylight
Each map location has different day length and daylight period. For each location Power is produced from:


 * Mars: 05:00 to 21:00
 * Ceres: 02:00 to 08:00
 * Io: 08:00 to 36:00

Terrain considerations
The higher the terrain that the Solar Panel is placed on, the more power is produced. Solar Panels produce 0.1 less Power across the board on Ceres and 0.2 less Power on Io.
 * Very Low: +0.8 Power/second
 * Low: +0.9 Power/second
 * Medium: +1.0 Power/second
 * High: +1.1 Power/second
 * Very High: +1.2 Power/second

Random Events
Pay attention to random weather events (a notice will appear beforehand). The output of Solar Panels is increased by 100% during Solar Flares and reduced by 50% during Dust Storms.
