The Solar Panel is a generator crafted with the Habitat Builder that converts light into Energy. It is one of the power generators available by default (another one is Bioreactor) and is best used on Seabases close to the surface, being relatively ineffective in deeper biomes.
It is constructed with the Habitat Builder and can be placed on any surface at any angle. It can also be damaged and destroyed by striking it with the Survival Knife three times.
A Solar Panel can transfer power up to 20 meters to a Seabase or Power Transmitter. It can store up to 75 energy.
During the day the Solar Panel receives the most sunlight and charges the most. During the evening it decreases in charge since it receives less light as the sun goes down. At midnight there is no charge at all.

Databank Entry
Solar Panel
Solar power is the most prevalent power source in the galaxy, and so it is no accident that the standard solar panel is the default means of powering a habitat. A power source is a requirement of habitat oxygen generators and other onboard modules.
- Provides limited power for small outposts and survival habitats
- May be mounted on or near the habitat itself, or placed remotely and connected via power transmitters
- Power rate relative to sunlight exposure
Source: Unlocked by default
