The SolarPanel generates power from a star. The amount of power received from the SolarPanel depends on how large it is and which star it is orbiting. Neutron stars generate the most power, then light blue, then yellow, orange, red and black hole generates the least power. Resizing them vertically does not generate more power, the blue part's size adjusts the power it can generate.
In-game description[edit | hide all | hide | edit source]
"Generates electricity using solar energy from a local star. The closer it is to a star, the more energy it generates. The type of star also affects its energy generation, as well as the size of the solar panel. If the solar panel is blocked by a part, it will not generate any energy. Glass however will work. "

Trivia[edit | hide | edit source]
- The SolarPanel can only generate power when it is day on a planet but if the planet is tidally locked to day or if the SolarPanel is in space, it will constantly generate power
- The SolarPanel will generate more power if it is in the same region as the star
- The SolarPanel will not generate power if it is blocked by an object, but if it is blocked by Glass, ReinforcedGlass or TintedGlass it will still generate power
