You can determine whether or not your solar panel is working by right clicking on the block in the gui there is a sun icon if it is lit the panel is working and.
Solar panel array ic2.
It is a high voltage device so a glass fibre cable or hv cable may be used to connect the hv solar array to an eu storage device but solar arrays can be placed.
There is another add on called compactsolars that also introduces 3 solar arrays which are combinations of many solar panels lv 8 solars mv 64 solars hv 512 solars.
The solar panel from industrialcraft 2 is an upgraded version of the generator that produces eu from the sun.
Solar arrays are machines added in the advanced machines add on to the core mod industrialcraft the mod is created to reduce lag in worlds if there are a lot of solar panels the world can become laggy they condense multiple solar panels into one block producing more power but with smaller space requirements.
The high voltage solar array is the third and topmost tier of solar arrays added by compactsolars it is made using 8 medium voltage solar arrays which each require 8 low voltage solar arrays which each require 8 solar panels bringing the total up to 512 solar panels in total plus a stack of lv transformers 8 mv transformers and a single hv transformer making it a very expensive and.
The preferable method of construction involves the setting up of automatic crafting tables to perform these tasks as otherwise creation would become tedious.
The solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu this means that they cannot work during the night during rainstorms underground underwater in the nether or the end.
The hv high voltage solar array is an ic machine used to generate eu from the sun.
I believe it is a bug.
The solar panel will only create eu during a clear day and if there are no opaque blocks above it.
When i loaded it again the jetpack had disappeared.
They are used to reduce the size of solar farms which can quickly become invasive.
However transparent blocks such as glass blocks or panes allow sunlight to pass through hence still allowing the panel to produce power.
If no automatic crafting tables are available the next best option would be a project table.
These should not be connected to tin cable as the cable and any others attached.
I tried it again with an automatic wrench and it happened again.
I am using compactsolars 1 11 2 5 0 12 333 universal with ic2 industrialcraft 2 2 7 72 ex111 and forge 1 11 2 forge1 11 2 13 20 0 2315.
It is the equivalent of 512 solar panels 64 lv solar arrays or 8 mv solar arrays.
One hv solar array produces 512 eu t which is 10 240 eu second.
Solar panel wiring aka stringing and how to string solar panels together is a fundamental topic for any solar installer.
The low voltage solar array is a block added by compactsolars that is an upgrade from the regular solar panel it generates power at a rate equivalent to the advanced solar panel provided that the sky is visible although it does not have any internal storage and also outputs its power at a rate of 8 eu p as opposed to the advanced solar panel s packet size of 32 eu p.
I left a jetpack in the solar array to charge and left the game.
You need to understand how different stringing configurations impact the voltage current and power of a solar array.
