This is a setup created with the help of the http://discord.gg/stationeers Official Stationeers Discord server. Note that this setup is *lossy*, meaning it's not perfect. It starts off at 375w of power in the morning, builds up to 500w at zenith (noon) then back to 375. This is due purely to the fact that solars aren't perfectly vertical at 0/100 percent. Also, multiplying a 180 degree angle by 0.55 gives you 0 to 99 values, which is also imperfect. However, this is the most COMPACT setup you can achieve without other external tools and with such little hardware.

Evie's Solar Circuit Setup V2 (v0.1.1068.5451)

This is a setup created with the help of the http://discord.gg/stationeers Official Stationeers Discord server. Note that this setup is *lossy*, meaning it's not perfect. It starts off at 375w of power in the morning, builds up to 500w at zenith (noon) then back to 375. This is due purely to the fact that solars aren't perfectly vertical at 0/100 percent. However, this is the most COMPACT setup you can achieve (least amount of circuits). The 3 circuits consume 15w at the time of writing.

Notes

  • The Daylight Sensor MUST be facing West (sunrise), but its rotation doesn't matter.
  • Solar panels should be rotated such as that 0% VERTICAL rotation faces west/sunrise, and 100% VERTICAL faces east/sunset.
  • The Area Power Control is necessary for the circuit to stay powered during the night.
  • Importantly, the solar input power doesn't directly connect to any of the logic writers. This not only ensures your system doesn't lose power but also prevents short-circuiting that would burn cables.
  • The use of the Area Power Control hides all the modules from the rest of your system.
