Industrial Craft Low Voltage Solar Panel

In terms of resources due to the additional cost of adding a transformer to each array it is actually more efficient to use standard panels up until the player has enough panels.

Industrial craft low voltage solar panel.

Due to the relative weakness of power generation solar panels are often assembled into so called solar flowers when using copper cable whereby as many solar panels as possible are connected to a batbox using cable lengths of four segments or less. The low voltage solar array is a block added by compactsolars that is an upgrade from the regular solar panel. It is still bound by the same placing restrictions working only in direct sunlight and generating far less eu in rain and thunderstorms. These constructions provide the benefit of compact and relatively cheap solar panel arrangements without energy losses.

A medium voltage array outputs 64 eu per tick and a high voltage array outputs a whopping 512 eu but is composed of 512 standard panels. The low voltage solar array is an industrial craft 2 generator. Industrial craft 2 the solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu. 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.

The low voltage solar array will output 8 eu per tick with is the sum output of its component solar panels. It is a more efficient version of the solar panel producing 8 eu t instead of 1 eu t in the same amount of space. This ratio remains true with the higher tier solar arrays as well.
