The '''Solar Panel''' generates power by absorbing sunlight, depending on solar intensity, up to 500W per panel on the moon. Can be manually rotated using a [[Wrench]]. Can be built in two configurations, one with opposite side split power/data ports, or two with same side combined power/data ports.

Data ports can interact with [https://stationeers-wiki.com/Sensors#Daylight_Sensor Daylight Sensors] and [[Kit (Logic I/O)|logic i/o writers or batch writers]] to automatically rotate the panel to face the sun.

At the extreme attitude settings (0/100) the solar panel still faces 15 degrees above the horizon. Thus the total arc of vertical rotation is only 150 degrees from input values 0-100.

Can also be destroyed by [[Storm|storms]], or left with very little health. Best course of action is to remove the solar panels when you are notified of a [[storm]] by a [[Weather Station]], Which allows you to replace them once the [[storm]] is over.

They can be repaired with [[Duct Tape]], or by dissembling them and reassembling them. You could even cover them with windows to protect them from [[Storm|storms]] at the cost of some efficiency of the panels themselves being lost. And Heavy Solar Panels are a more expensive version that do not take [[storm]] damage but it is debatable if its worth making the tier 2 metal [[Astroloy]] to prevent [[storm]] damage whilst retaining maximum efficiency.

These are useful early on when resources are limited.
 
−
*'''Kit (Solar Panel Basic)''' don't have logic inputs so they can't be set up to automatically track the sun and spend most of their time at reduced power output.
 
−
*'''Kit (Solar Panels)''' have logic inputs and can be [[Solar Logic Circuits Guide|programmed to track the sun]] for optimal power output.

=== Printed with the Electronics Printer (Tier Two) ===

These are protected against [[Storm|storm]] damage, but more expensive. Note that not all planets have storms.
