It has much smaller space requirements than a wind turbine but provides no power at night or during an eclipse.
Rimworld solar panel vs gennerator.
They also don t block wind turbines.
Also they don t consume anything.
Solar energy is in some ways not as reliable as generators if you don t take the mechanical failure of a generator into account.
Solar makes a bit less but you can place them infront of and behind wind turbines.
Both need batteries to ensure 24 7 power demands met.
During the night the batteries discharge at 2kw for 1 3 of a day losing 700kwd.
One of the most important things i ve learned is that it s important to get your power crops defenses going fast if you wanna have a chance of survival.
Sometimes it s hard to source enough wood for the generators.
The solar panels generate 5 1kw during the day that s 2kw to the grid and 3 1kw to battery charging so about 1 5kw charging batteries have 50 efficiency over 2 3 of a day in rimworld days on average are twice as long as nights or 1kwd of power.
It can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.

Solar panels pretty much can be counted on to give power every day and i think it gives more energy as well but eclipses and bad weather makes it a rather unsteady power source.
Which one is better.
Geothermal must be placed on geysers but works at full strength 24 7 unless a solar flare hits.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.

Both have pros and cons and it s better to use both and have lots of batteries.

Generators are able to provide their rated power continuously however the power produced by solar panels is heavily dependent on the weather and where the van is parked ding said.
