How To Use Solar Panels Empyrion

Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient.

How to use solar panels empyrion.

Small generator and any one of the fuel tanks. Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel. You can combine solar and generators and the solar gets used first. Let s talk about energy efficiency.

Generally love thy survival constructor. Add non essential devices or those which use large amounts of power to a generator power group. Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as fuel. So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel.

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. Having a backup generator is probably a good idea. It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks. 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.

If you read nothing else. The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel. Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power. Use a power generator i e.

If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s. Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor.
