Energy producers do not store energy cumulatively. Thus, if 1 solar panel is "full" its energy output does not roll over to other energy producers.

Because of this, energy drain is fairly common. Further, bioreactors have gosh awful output. They would be unable to support a base that has substantial, constant drain.
