How To Use Solar Panels Empyrion

Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power.

How to use solar panels empyrion.

So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel. Use a power generator i e. Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient. Next add a switch to power on off the items which you want to use generator power for.

Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel. As such it. Let s talk about energy efficiency. The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel.

You can combine solar and generators and the solar gets used first. Solar panels get power from the sun during the day and store their excess in the solar capacitor for when the panel isn t producing power. Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as fuel. In addition any generators present in the base will not consume fuel as long as there is ample solar energy stored in capacitors to meet the base s power needs.

Generally love thy survival constructor. Add non essential devices or those which use large amounts of power to a generator power group. It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks. There are no infinite sources in empyrion other than the trusty survival constructor and water so not dying and spending most of your time not just mining is pretty much about using energy efficiently.

Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor. Small generator and any one of the fuel tanks.
