It requires sunlight to provide power.
Astroneer satellite solar panel.
I quite often come across a wrecked crashed satellite with a huge solar panel.
It can be placed on two adjacent slots on a platform or vehicle.
The medium solar panel is one of the power generators in astroneer.
Small solar panels are crafted in your backpack s printer using copper this kind of panel can be placed on any item slot but in the backpack it will only produce power when placed on one of the widget slots see image on the right.
Sorry if this is a stupid question i couldn t find any answers in the guides i took a look at so i was hoping someone could help me out.
The solar array is a power module in astroneer.
So i found this really tall solar pannel that looks like it s fallen off a space station and figured it could be of use as there is a little port on the side for what looks like the base tubes and little indicators on the sides that are blinking.
I tried tethering out to it but could not get it to interact with the tethers.
The solar panel is one sided and if facing the sun generates power which can be drawn into a vehicle.
The wrecked solar array is a discovery unique in that it is the only functional non craftable solar panel in astroneer.
It only produces power when exposed to sunlight.
Unlike the medium solar panel the solar array isn t required to be placed on a platform.
The two panels are folded upward over the center when it is not exposed to sunlight.
The wrecked solar arrays are space objects that consist of a single large solar panel and a connection point.
If you dig down a bit you can see that it is generating power when the sun is out the bars flash and fill up.
Discoveries in astroneer consist of a large number of different items.
The gateway portal satellite appears over the sun.
But if you make a pillar and put solar panels or the new solar array on it vertically on all 4 sides of the pillar you might be able to get 100 at the poles.
