The Solar Panel is the improved version of the Primitive Solar Panel, with twice the output and more storage.

This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2). All numbers are the default values from the startup config and can be changed there.

Usage

The panel needs an unobstructed view of the sky directly above it. Output follows the sun: the full rate around noon, falling off towards sunrise and sunset, and nothing at night. Rain reduces output to 60%, and thunderstorms to 20%. Energy is pushed into adjacent machines.

Crafting a Solar Panel on its own in a crafting grid returns a fresh Solar Panel, clearing its stored data.
