Solar Panel - TinyModularThings/IC2Classic GitHub Wiki

That big square thing in the daytime sky is a brightly burning nuclear furnace. Its power grants life, keeps the monsters at bay, and most importantly, light. This energy can be gathered and turned into electricity for your industrial needs. If this interests you, then you'd be interested in the Solar Panel!

The Solar Panel is a method for generating FREE POWER! It is actually classified as an Ultra-Low Voltage generator so now you have a use for all of that Tin Cable you have sitting in your back pocket. If you'd rather make funny shapes with the cable, you can set that Solar Panel against a machine or a Batbox. This is one hot block, just like the Generator you used to build this crafty device!

It will take a bit of infrastructure to begin manufacturing these beauties using Coal/Charcoal Dust. Once you get the ball rolling, you may decide you want to upgrade your panels to something more... productive. Sure, these ULV models output 1 EU/t during daylight, but there's also stronger models. Consult your JEI User Manual for more information about these beasts!

Be careful picking them back up though. The ULV Solar Panels are fragile so don't use your Pickaxe. Dismantle them with your wrench! Advanced tiers, however, are more resilient and can be mined with a Pickaxe. You savage.
