Use one of the rooms to build a couple at the beginning you won t need more of batteries.
How to build a solar panel rimworld.
Adding one space between each solar panel because that s needed to put out fires.
Unspaced solar is almost as efficient as wind.
Access to power is crucial to survival especially in late game.
Here s hoping the formattting works.
I don t believe it.

A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
During the night when solar power plants will not work.
It has much smaller space requirements than a wind turbine but provides no power at night or during an eclipse it can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.
