The high voltage solar panel is an upgraded version of the medium voltage solar panel added by industrialcraft 2 classic which produces 512 energy units per tick eu t instead of 64 eu t.
Industrial craft hv solar panel.
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.
Solar panels are a common type of eu generator used in industrialcraft 2.
Hv cables have an extremely high distance related energy loss.
This means that they cannot work during the night during rainstorms underground underwater in the nether or the end.
There is an add on named advanced solar panels that introduces 3 new solar panels advanced hybrid and ultimate hybrid each an upgrade from the last.
Recipe edit edit source.
Industrial craft 2 the solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu.
It can be used to charge any tier of energy storage unit by either connecting the two blocks by placing them directly next to each other or using one of ic2 s different cable types.
Solar panels how to use them and some designs.
It is the equivalent of 512 solar panels 64 lv solar arrays or 8 mv solar arrays.
The solar panel is used to create industrialcraft 2 s eu energy using solar power.
Considering that a shock from a poorly insulated hv cable will most likely prove fatal it is recommended to insulate them well unless the cable is located in a completely unreachable area.
The high voltage solar array is made from 512 solar panels each producing 1 eu t so the solar array does not serve to generate more power but merely to generate the same amount of power in a smaller and more compact space.
They can have 3 different levels of insulation.
They require little effort to set up correctly and each one consistently provides 1 eu t on clear sunny days and as long as the more expensive gregtech 4 recipe is not enabled they re also fairly affordable.
It is a high voltage device so a glass fibre cable or hv.
If you are looking for the redpower solar panel see this page.
Solar panels when placed will generate 1 eu per tick when under sunlight.
The hv high voltage solar array is an ic machine used to generate eu from the sun.
Because of the low power generation you are encouraged to use ultra low current cable to wire these to whatever they are powering.
