Solar Panels are generators that utilize the energy of the Sun to generate [[EU]]. This fact means that they cannot work underground (unless there is an unobstructed view of the sky) or in the Nether. They also don't work at night.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Generator|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Solar Panel
}}

== Usage ==

Optionally place an [[RE Battery]] in the upper slot. The collector will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 1 [[EU|EU/s]] during daytime(from 6:20 to 17:45). Rain does not affect energy production.

Due to the relative weakness of power generation, the Solar Panels are often assembled into so-called Solar Flowers. These constructions provide the benefit of compact and relatively cheap Solar Panel arrangement without energy losses.

BatBox

The BatBox is the most basic energy storage device. It is able to store up to 40 thousand [[EU]], and can accept currents of up to 32 EU/s from any of the 5 input faces (but no more than 32 EU/s in total; if one face is accepting 32 EU/s, other input faces cannot take any power). It can also emit a current of up to 32 EU/s from its output face.

Like all storage units, its output face is marked by a special texture, which usually faces the player when the block is placed. The direction of the output face can be changed by right-clicking with a [[Wrench]] onto any of the input faces of the block. Be aware that right-clicking the BatBox while pointing at its output face will dismantle it.

Note that applying a redstone signal to the BatBox will make it stop emitting power from the output face.

This block can charge most energy storage devices.
