The high voltage solar panel is an upgraded version of the medium voltage solar panel added by industrialcraft 2 classic which produces 512 energy units per tick eu t instead of 64 eu t.
Industrial craft hv solar panel.
Due to its high output it requires glass fibre cable or hv cable gold cable also acceptable in industrialcraft 2 experimental to connect it to a power storage unit.
They require little effort to set up correctly and each one consistently provides 1 eu t on clear sunny days and as long as the more expensive gregtech 4 recipe is not enabled they re also fairly affordable.
It is a high voltage device so a glass fibre cable or hv.
Solar panels how to use them and some designs.
They can have 3 different levels of insulation.
There is an add on named advanced solar panels that introduces 3 new solar panels advanced hybrid and ultimate hybrid each an upgrade from the last.
Recipe edit edit source.
Considering that a shock from a poorly insulated hv cable will most likely prove fatal it is recommended to insulate them well unless the cable is located in a completely unreachable area.
The solar panel is used to create industrialcraft 2 s eu energy using solar power.
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.
Hv cables have an extremely high distance related energy loss.
If you are looking for the redpower solar panel see this page.
The hv high voltage solar array is an ic machine used to generate eu from the sun.
It can be used to charge any tier of energy storage unit by either connecting the two blocks by placing them directly next to each other or using one of ic2 s different cable types.
One hv solar array produces 512 eu t which is 10 240 eu second.
It is the equivalent of 512 solar panels 64 lv solar arrays or 8 mv solar arrays.
Industrial craft 2 the solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu.
There is another add on called compactsolars that also introduces 3 solar arrays which are combinations of many solar panels lv 8 solars mv 64 solars hv 512 solars.
This means that they cannot work during the night during rainstorms underground underwater in the nether or the end.
