Solar Panels
Solar Panels are one of the simplest renewable generators in Refined Power: place one, wire it up, and it produces power from the sun. They come in three tiers plus a set of roof panels. Higher tiers produce more power.
Unlike the Solar Power Tower, a Solar Panel generates electricity directly,it does not need mirrors or any downstream machine.

Tips
-
Solar is fully passive. No fuel, no belts, no pipes. Along with wind, it is the lowest-maintenance power in the mod.
-
Solar production is reduced or completely stopped at night. If you rely on them, pair them with batteries or an on-demand power source such as biomass burners.
