0 lukeb28 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 What are they hooked up to? And I don't think this counts as a bug.
0 BigG1 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Which solar panels are you using? If you are connecting to a bat box, they need to be the slim solar panels connected with blue alloy wire and that is blutricity you are generating. If it is the big box like solar panels, you connect them to a MFE or MFSU, with ideally glass fibre cable. Hope that helps.
0 jayer89 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 there is 2 types of batbox the industrial craft batbox and the redpower batbox im talking about the normal type solar pannels from the industrial craft mod
0 BigG1 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 how are the solar panels connected to the batbox? with what?
0 jayer89 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 with insulated copper cable i dont have the resources to make glass fiber yet
0 KiraKodera Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 The batbox will accept power on all sides but the one with the dot. If the dot is facing the input wire, it will not accept power. Try turning the batbox around with a wrench.
0 jayer89 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 i am aware of what way the batbox goes as i have almost mastered the tekkit modpack
0 lukeb28 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 How far away is your solar panel from the bat box? Copper cable is very poor for long distance. best bet for solar panels is to use tin wires. Next to no power loss. The only kick is that they can only hold something (correct me if I'm wrong) like 5EU/tick which is fine for start game power generation.
0 jayer89 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 the solar pannel is like 2 blocks away from the batbox
0 lukeb28 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Then there shouldn't be any power loss... This is quite stumping... Second opinions?
0 lukeb28 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 It would be nice but he has already addressd all the idiot problems that cold be seen in a screen shot. Just to try it dissasemble your whole set up and rebuild it.
0 jayer89 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 okay this can be closed now coz the server it was on is now gone so this is not needed thanks anyway
