== Description == 
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 logic i/o writers or batch writers to automatically rotate the panel to face the sun.

At the extreme altitude 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.

==Notes== 
After placement be sure to install one [[Glass Sheets|Glass Sheet]] to make it functional.

See [[Sensors]] and [[Solar_Logic_Circuits_Guide]] for panel automation using logic circuits.
