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.

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. 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. 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.

So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel. Let s talk about energy efficiency. Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as fuel. Generally love thy survival constructor.

Add non essential devices or those which use large amounts of power to a generator power group. Having a backup generator is probably a good idea. As such it. You can combine solar and generators and the solar gets used first.

If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s. If you read nothing else. Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor. 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.

The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel. It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks.
