Space engineers how to set up solar panels.
Build as many as you like after adjusted and your are set.
Solar panels appear on some pre built ships most prominently the commercial types which are generated with large arrays at the fore.
Solar panel uses natural sunlight to produce power.
That is if a reactor is on a ship all.
I can add.
In order for a solar panel to produce energy its solar face must be exposed to direct sunlight.
Today i set up something i should ve done a long time ago.
Electricity is a system and resource in space engineers that is used to power most devices.
For example two batteries charged by solar panels is able to power a 5mw required machine refinery assembler etc for as long as the batteries remain charged.
It is created using a large or small reactor or windmill or by using a solar panel it can be stored in a battery and discharged to the grid it is built on.
I suggest that you attach one panel each first and then adjust the panels so they rotate up or down to point directly at the sun.

The panels are best used with batteries set to recharge or auto mode so as to create mw power output when required for short periods.
One solar panel fully working directly pointed at sun will produce 140kw refinery will burn 560kw without any modules.
Any device that has a direct block connection to a power source will be powered by that power source.
Place a programmable block and a timer block anywhere so long as it s connected to the same grind as your solar tracker.
Name a solar panel solar panel lower case so it will never be the same as any other default solar panel.
Name the advanced rotor that will be tracking the sun rotor again lower case for reasons stated above.
Assembler have same power need as refinery so arelady you have 1 1mw of power demand just for this two.
There you can either attach solar panels staright to the rotor pad or add a block then attach the panels.
