Low voltage solar array medium voltage solar array and high voltage solar array it gives an alternative to the advanced solar panels mod but compact solars does not give buffers to the panels.
Compact solar panels ftb.
Compactsolars or compact solar arrays is an industrialcraft 2 add on created by cpw.
The solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu this means that they cannot work during the night during rainstorms underground underwater in the nether or the end.
Compact solar arrays or compactsolars is an industrialcraft 2 add on created by cpw.
The low voltage solar array is equivalent to 8 solar panels in one block producing 8 energy units per tick.
It requires sunlight in order to generate power.
These arrays are both more compact and create less lag which is useful on larger servers.
The high voltage solar array is made from 512 solar panels each producing 1 eu t so the solar array does not serve to generate more power but merely to generate the same amount of power in a smaller and more compact space.
Compact solar arrays is an addon for industrialcraft 2 created by cpw and maintained by progwml6 this mod is used to compress multiple solar panels to reduce server tick lag and produce more eu tick.
However transparent blocks such as glass blocks or panes allow sunlight to pass through hence still allowing the panel to produce power.
The mod expands upon the implementation of solar panels in ic 2 by adding 3 new solar panel arrays which function like multiple solar panels combined in one block.
Since the high voltage solar array takes 512 solar panels to craft doing it manually takes several hours.
Additionally this mod adds upgraded versions of the solar helmet allowing more eu tick to be generated on a player.
