Make sure you own everything.
Solar panel space enginerrs.
My solar panels are showing up with yellow lights on the bottom and they aren t producing any energy.
This is a solar panel alignment script that uses rotors or gyroscopes to align solar panels for maximum efficiency.
Today i set up something i should ve done a long time ago.
Name the advanced rotor that will be tracking the sun rotor again lower case for reasons stated above.
When all of the bars are lit the panel is at or very near the maximum efficient position.
My first real attempt at building a solar tower for isy s solar rotation script hopefully it all goes to plan.
An automatically rotating sun tracking solar panel tower.
Assembler have same power need as refinery so arelady you have 1 1mw of power demand just for this two.
Solar panels are for generating a small amount of power.
Some new construction actually happens.
Solar panels produce energy depending upon the angle of exposure to the sun.
I m playing survival and that means that the only way to make batteries and reactors and such is through an assembler which means i need to make a new grid since assemblers can t be placed on the survival pods but i.
Power generated depends on the angle to the sun and whether or not the panel is in shadow.
Time to get cracking on making the sun tracking solar panel function with a few panels a timer block and a programmable block with isy s awesome solar track.
The efficiency of the panel is indicated by a series of green bars at the side of the panel.
One solar panel fully working directly pointed at sun will produce 140kw refinery will burn 560kw without any modules.
It s best used when it is perpendicular to the sun and tracking it as it moves while being completely unobstructed anything including other ships and floating debris can obstruct sunlight and therefore reduce output.
The key feature of this script is that it can virtually align as many towers as you like with just one programmable block and is able to figure out by itself if you use a t shaped solar array only one axis or a mix of the twos.
Name a solar panel solar panel lower case so it will never be the same as any other default solar panel.
