Deadpowerful Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have set up some IC solar panels and they are not working, I used a eu reader on the panels and they are outputting nothing. What can I do. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxis010 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Right click a solar, if the small box is lit (during the day) then it's a valid placement Only thing I can think of from what I see is the batbox, the output is facing away from you in the 2nd shot, not up right?

Whatthestuff Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Solar panels dont produce a lot of energy so you have to make them really close if you use copper wire, i think the top one could be too far away. Make sure the dot is facing the correct way on the bat box, the dot is the output, you can change this by hitting it on the desired side with a bronze wrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portablejim Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Try breaking the top wire (yes it will disconnect 1 solar panel - this is just to test) and see if the batbox gets any power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraku Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The Batbox probably has the dot on top. The dot is the output. Try using the Wrench made of Bronze to rotate the dot. Also, you need to use either Ultra Low-Current Cable or move the other solar panels closer, or the EU loss in that Copper Cable will make the 1 EU disappear completely.

Deadpowerful Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Idiot of the year award goes to me... I feel so stupid. I first had them to far away so I moved them closer and some how I managed to turn the bat box round the wrong way...As I have used this mod before I feel super stupid. Thank you!

It happens bro, we're all human. Might I suggest using the Ultra-Low-Current cable if you're first starting out with just panels and not arrays. It has a much lower rate of loss (1 eu over 40 blocks) versus copper (1 eu over 5 blocks). It's also much cheaper until you have stockpiled a good bunch of panels. You wont need the copper cable until you start using things like vanilla generator, or geothermal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
