The Solar Panel is a generator crafted with the Habitat Builder that converts light into Energy. It is one of the power generator available by default (another one is Bioreactor) and is best used on Seabases close to the surface, being relatively ineffective in deeper biomes.
It is constructed with the Habitat Builder and can be placed on any surface at any angle. It can also be damaged and destroyed by striking it with the Survival Knife three times.
A Solar Panel can transfer power up to 20 meters to a Seabase or Power Transmitter. It can store up to 75 energy.
During the day the Solar Panel receives the most sunlight and charges the most. During the evening it decreases in charge since it receives less light as the sun goes down. At midnight there is no charge at all.
