== 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 [[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.

== Types of Solar Panel Kit == 
There are 4 kinds of Solar Panel Kits:
: '''Basic Solar Panels''' are the cheapest, but don't have logic inputs so they can not be set up to automatically track the sun. They're useful early on when resources are limited and power needs are lower, but they spend most of their time at reduced power output.
: '''Standard Solar Panels''' have logic inputs and can be [[Solar Logic Circuits Guide|programmed to track the sun]] for optimal power output.
: '''Heavy Solar Panels''' are protected against [[Storm|storm]] damage, but more expensive and require a Tier Two [[Electronics Printer]]. Note that not all planets have storms.
: '''Basic Heavy Solar Panels''' are just a combination of the Basic and Heavy solar panel properties.

== Positioning == 

Pay close attention to the positioning of your solar panel since their automation will depend heavily on it.
Most user-made scripts and guides orient the panels with the data port facing sunset and the power port facing sunrise.

[[File:Solar panel yaw-Horizontal setting.png|400x300px|solar panel horizontal rotation]]

==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.

== 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 [[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.

== Types of Solar Panel Kit == 
There are 4 kinds of Solar Panel Kits:
: '''Basic Solar Panels''' are the cheapest, but don't have logic inputs so they can not be set up to automatically track the sun. They're useful early on when resources are limited and power needs are lower, but they spend most of their time at reduced power output.
: '''Standard Solar Panels''' have logic inputs and can be [[Solar Logic Circuits Guide|programmed to track the sun]] for optimal power output.
: '''Heavy Solar Panels''' are protected against [[Storm|storm]] damage, but more expensive and require a Tier Two [[Electronics Printer]]. Note that not all planets have storms.
: '''Basic Heavy Solar Panels''' are just a combination of the Basic and Heavy solar panel properties.

== Positioning == 

Pay close attention to the positioning of your solar panel since their automation will depend heavily on it.
Most user-made scripts and guides orient the panels with the data port facing sunset and the power port facing sunrise.

|-
! Parameter Name !! Data Type !! Description
|-
| Horizontal || Degrees || Set the horizontal rotation of the Solar Panel (clockwise, 0-360°, data port is at 270°)
|-
| Vertical || Degrees || Sets the vertical angle of the Solar Panel (As of at least version 0.2.3263.16264, solar panels accept input in degrees above the horizon instead of in percent, so the solar panels travel between inputs of 15 and 165, with 90 being straight up. Previously, this was supposedly a Percentage "accepting 0-100% which translates to 15°-165°, 50%=90° =zenith")
|-
| On || Boolean || Turns the solar panel on or off
