Big solar panel astroneer.
The update also added a new item called extenders which can be used to connect power lines over long distances.
It only produces power when exposed to sunlight.
So one way to get connected to the solar panel would be to just place a platform next to it and connect the power.
It requires sunlight to provide power.
Unlike the medium solar panel the solar array isn t required to be placed on a platform.
In this video i will show you how to setup giant solar panels to power your base please take the time to hit that like button.
Small solar panels are crafted in your backpack s printer using copper this kind of panel can be placed on any item slot but in the backpack it will only produce power when placed on one of the widget slots see image on the right.
When exposed to light the panel will orient itself automatically toward the sun if possible and produce 0 5u s of power or enough to fill one bar on a.
Regardless of angle if sunlight exists at all in its view angle the wrecked solar array provides a minimum of 2u s.
The two panels are folded upward over the center when it is not exposed to sunlight.
So i found this really tall solar pannel that looks like it s fallen off a space station and figured it could be of use as there is a little port on the side for what looks like the base tubes and little indicators on the sides that are blinking.
Wrecked solar arrays produce 2u s to 4u s of power varying dynamically depending on the angle of sunlight relative to the panel meaning the maximum of 4u s is typically unachievable on the equator of a planet.

Discoveries in astroneer consist of a large number of different items structures and debris randomly generated throughout the planets offering a range of resources research items puzzles and side quests they can be highly valuable during both the early and late game a precious source of refined ores for the starting base and apart from the rare find in very deep caves almost exclusively.
The medium solar panel is one of the power generators in astroneer it can be placed on two adjacent slots on a platform or vehicle.
