Solar Panel (Subnautica)

The Solar Panel is a placeable item that absorbs lights and converts it into energy.

It is constructed with the Builder and can be placed on any surface in any angle, including on the Foundation, except on seabase modules. It can also be damaged and destroyed by striking it with the knife three times.

The Solar Panel must be placed within a radius of up to 20 meters from a seabase for them to be able to supply power. One Solar Panel produces 1% power every second with coverage of 89% sun.

During the day the Solar Panel receives the most sunlight and charges the most. During the evening they decreases in charge since it receives less light as the sun goes down. At midnight there is no charge at all. Below is a list of what depth it is best to charge in.

Received sun in percentage and placement at midday: One Solar Panel can store 25 power for Seabases.
