It is a tiered system, progressing as follows: ^ Name ^ Tier ^ Day Energy Generation per Tick ^ Night Energy Generation per Tick ^ Energy Storage ^ | <mcitem>techreborn:basic_solar_panel</mcitem> | Micro | 3 | - | <tooltip title="6,000">6k</tooltip> | | <mcitem>techreborn:advanced_solar_panel</mcitem> | Low | 12 | - | <tooltip title="24,000">24k</tooltip> | | <mcitem>techreborn:industrial_solar_panel</mcitem> | Medium | 24 | 4 | <tooltip title="48,000">48k</tooltip> | | <mcitem>techreborn:ultimate_solar_panel</mcitem> | High | 48 | 8 | <tooltip title="96,000">96k</tooltip> | | <mcitem>techreborn:quantum_solar_panel</mcitem> | Insane | 512 | 32 | <tooltip title="1,000,000">1m</tooltip> | | <mcitem>techreborn:creative_solar_panel</mcitem>((This panel is Tech Reborn's version of an infinite energy source. There is no recipe for this tier; it can only be acquired in Creative mode or via commands.)) | Infinite | ∞ | ∞ | ∞ | ==== Panel States ==== A solar panel has three possible states: * **Direct Sunlight:** The panel is producing at its maximum rate — //Sky access, day time, and Clear weather.// * **Reduced Sunlight:** The panel is producing its night-time generation rate — //Night time, Rain, or Thunder weather.// * **Obstructed Sunlight:** The panel doesn't have a direct view of the sky — //A solid block is directly above it (the distance away from the top of the solar panel doesn't matter).// <callout type="info" title="Day & Night"> Solar Panels do not generate energy based on the light level of sunlight like the <mcitem>minecraft:Daylight_Detector</mcitem>, but are rather based on the [[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Daylight_cycle|Daylight Cycle]] and occur at times 12542 and 23460. These times are the same as when the player can and cannot sleep in a bed.</callout> ==== Usage Notes ==== * Right click a solar panel to open its GUI and view the specifications and current status (this works on all tiers except Infinite). * Solar panels output energy from all sides, and putting a wire on the top does not interfere with energy generation. * Energy output can be turned on and off using <mcitem>minecraft:redstone</mcitem>. * Solar panels all output at <tooltip title="2,048">2.0k</tooltip> Energy per Tick, and will likely be limited by the attached cable.((The only exception to this is the <mcitem>techreborn:Creative_Solar_Panel</mcitem>, whose Energy output is only limited by the cable or device connected to it.))
