Sorry people. Because "someone" on the Stationeers Discord found the information on this page to be inferior (because I chose to prioritize reduced chance of misconfiguration over pretty math), I'm removing all content that was written by me. GLHF.

Solar tracking using Logic Chips - Moon
Solar tracking on the Moon is very minimal and straightforward due to its having a 0° solar angle. You will need the following:
- x1 Daylight Sensor
- x1 Logic Reader
- x1 Batch Writer
- Cable Coils, a Wrench, a Screwdriver, and Wire Cutters at a minimum
The orientation of the Daylight Sensor is important for any solar logic control circuit. Since we are only controlling the vertical alignment (0° solar angle negates the need for horizontal control), the direction of the data port does not matter; however, the blue solar face of the Daylight Sensor must face either east or west. You will have to manually adjust the angle of the horizontal angle on the Solar Panel with a Wrench, dependent on the orientation you build the Solar Panel, and whether the Daylight Sensor faces east or west. Simply wait for the sun to be up and adjust until the panel is ~98% efficient.
Hook up the logical components as follows:
| Component | Port A | Connection A | Port B | Connection B | Port C | Connection C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logic Reader | IN | Daylight Sensor | VAR | Vertical | N/A | N/A |
| Batch Writer | IN | Logic Reader | OUT VAR | Vertical | OUT TYPE | Solar Panel |
