Ic2 Solar Panel Array
Mit researchers have come up with a solar array which can produce much more energy per square foot than traditional flat panels and potentially more efficiently.
Ic2 solar panel array. The second tier solar array it generates 64 eu per tick and outputs packets of the same size. Solar arrays are machines added in the advanced machines add on to the core mod industrialcraft. The mod is created to reduce lag in worlds if there are a lot of solar panels the world can become laggy. The medium voltage solar array is a block added by the compactsolars mod.
A medium voltage array outputs 64 eu per tick and a high voltage array outputs a whopping 512 eu but is composed of 512 standard panels. This ratio remains true with the higher tier solar arrays as well. It is still bound by the same placing restrictions working only in direct sunlight and generating far less eu in rain and thunderstorms. The low voltage solar array will output 8 eu per tick with is the sum output of its component solar panels.
The solar panel is used to create industrialcraft 2 s eu energy using solar power. The array doesn t have any internal energy buffer and neither does it charges power items. In terms of resources due to. It is a more efficient version of the solar panel producing 8 eu t instead of 1 eu t in the same amount of space.
An array is a group of 8 lower level solar panels arrays. Use a wrench ic 2 or electric wrench to remove the panel properly. It can be used to charge any tier of energy storage unit by either connecting the two blocks by placing them directly next to each other or using one of ic2 s different cable types. The low voltage solar array is an industrial craft 2 generator.
If attempting to reclaim a solar panel do not use any type of pick as this has adverse effects on the fragile components of the block. There is an add on named advanced solar panels that introduces 3 new solar panels advanced hybrid and ultimate hybrid each an upgrade from the last. The preferable method of construction involves the setting up of automatic crafting tables to perform these tasks as otherwise creation would become tedious. There is another add on called compactsolars that also introduces 3 solar arrays which are combinations of many solar panels lv 8 solars mv 64 solars hv 512 solars.
The low voltage solar array is a block added by compactsolars that is an upgrade from the regular solar panel it generates power at a rate equivalent to the advanced solar panel provided that the sky is visible although it does not have any internal storage and also outputs its power at a rate of 8 eu p as opposed to the advanced solar panel s packet size of 32 eu p. They are used to reduce the size of solar farms which can quickly become invasive. This will revert the panel back to a generator. There is a slot in the gui that is for charging tools batteries and battery packs.
