First, Cables do not act like redstone, you can not place them diagonally to travel in a stair formation. They must be placed Orthogonally.

I vote to change this to:

First, Cables do not act like redstone, you cannot place them diagonally to travel in a stair formation as they will no automatically connect. You must place cable so that it always connects to other cable to transmit along it.

Starting simple this is the most basic set up without omitting the MFE Transmitter. The max Cable length is achieved here. The cable is 6 long then the receiver is counted as the last hence 7 long. Loss is calculated at every 5 length, but you are given a buffer of 2 for the first segment. You lose 1 EU at every lenght that is too long.

I vote to change this to:

This is the most basic setup: The max Cable length without loss is 9 pieces of cable, with the MFE Transmitter where the 10th piece would go. Energy loss happens when you go over 9 cable lengths. At that point, you lose 1 energy for every 3 more cable you place down. That is, at 10 cable, -1 EU; at 13 cable, -2 EU; at 16 cable, -3 EU; etc...

MFE's will output from the top by default, not the bottom.

Ah, the '''technology of Future'''![[file:solarflower.png|right|300px|link=http://www.minecraftforum.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=270214|A SolarFlower. Screenshot by Kingy24 ]]

''Solar Panels'' are the futuristic and 100% clean alternative to gather energy. They don't even use any kind of fuel but the sun, seriously!

You can just '''place them somewhere in sunlight''', put a battery in and be happy.

As fair salesmans, we feel responsible to tell you that charging up [[RE Battery]]s by ''Solar Panels'' '''may take some time'''.

But this '''is not because of the low efficiency''' of the ''Solar Panels'', but because our [[RE Battery]]s are so frikkin awesome full of energy, they just need long to load, HAYO.

== Energy ==

'''Storage:''' None

'''Output:''' 1 EU/s (at day), roughly 13,000 EU/day

== Notes ==
The most widely used configuration for Solar Panels is the so-called '5-Solar Flower'. It consists of a cable with solar panels on five of its sides, and more cable extending downward to some storage system. Alternatively, there is the '12-Solar Flower', which has 4 cable at the top, with a switch cable in the middle to send all the EUs downward. It then has 4 solar panels on the 4 regular cables, as well as 8 more around the outer edges of them.
