Solar Panel

Solar Panel
Build solar panels on lofty terrain to generate more power.
Produces +0.8-1.2 Power
Requirements:
Aluminum	20/20
Silicon	100/100
Hotkey:	SHIFT + S

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.
