A solar panel will generate electricity whenever there's enough light (preferably from the sun) striking it. Any crafting surface trying to draw power can use that current, but it's most practical to connect through a [[flywheel]] and store it for release at a higher rate.

"Electricity from the sun."

A Solar Panel is a crafting surface that is used to generate electricity for other crafting surfaces to use.

Where Found

Making a solar panel requires using a workbench (of level 3) to craft together 1 steel block, 3 silicon wafers and 10 copper wires.

Use

There is no crafting possible with just a solar panel. Instead, it efficiently converts sunlight into electricity. Tapping on a solar panel will display a menu to remove it or show a "generation rate" scale which indicates how quickly it's working.

A solar panel will generate electricity whenever there's enough light (preferably from the sun) striking it and no other block or bench is on top of it. Any crafting surface trying to draw power can use that current, but it's most practical to connect through a flywheel and store it for release at a higher rate.

Fuel

A solar panel does not require any of the usual fuels, instead it must be exposed to sunlight.
