| | ==== 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> |
| |
| ===== Panel states ===== | ==== Usage Notes ==== |
| A panel can be in three states: | * Right click a solar panel to open its GUI and view the specifications and current status (this works on all tiers except Infinite). |
| * **Direct sunlight:** The panel is producing at its maximum rate — //Sky access, day time, and sunny weather// | * Solar panels output energy from all sides, and putting a wire on the top does not interfere with energy generation. |
| * **Reduced sunlight:** The panel is producing its night-time generation rate — //Night time or bad weather// | * Energy output can be turned on and off using <mcitem>minecraft:redstone</mcitem>. |
| * **Obstructed sunlight:** The panel doesn't have a direct view of the sky — //A solid block is above of it// | * 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.)) |
