Ah, the '''technology of Future'''!
 
''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 salesmen, we feel responsible to tell you that charging up [[RE Battery|RE Batteries]] 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|RE Batteries]] are so frikkin awesome full of energy, they just need a long time to charge, HAYO.

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 [[EU]]s downward.  It then has 4 solar panels on the 4 regular cables, as well as 8 more around the outer edges of them.
