Ah, the technology of the Future!
Solar Collectors 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 Batteries by Solar Collectors may take some time.
But this is not because of the low efficiency of the Solar Collectors, but because our RE Batteries are so freakin awesome, HAYO!
Recipe[edit]
Usage[edit]
Optionally place an RE Battery in the upper slot. The collector will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 1 EU/s during daytime.
Energy[edit]
Storage: None
Output: 1 EU/s (during day time), 12,000 EU/day.
Notes[edit]
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.
