Compact Solars Solar Arrays

The Compact Solars mod adds the LV, MV, and HV Solar Arrays. Their names refer to their voltage level: low, medium, and high voltage. The LV Solar Array can power LV machines without a transformer, while the MV and HV variants require transformation before connecting to machines with lower voltage levels.

To safely connect an MV Solar Array to LV machines, use a MV Transformer followed by a LV Transformer. For a HV Solar Array, use a HV Transformer, then a MV Transformer, and finally a LV Transformer. Connecting machines or BatBoxes to a voltage they cannot handle will cause them to explode.

The LV Solar Array produces 8 EU per tick, while the MV Solar Array produces 64 EU per tick and the HV producing 512 EU per tick. The benefit to going into higher voltages is that it is more compact, however, given the cost of a HV Solar Array; it is more advised to stay on the MV Arrays.

Solar Array Recipes

To craft the LV Solar Array, surround a LV Transformer with 8 Solar Panels. The MV and HV variants follow the same pattern using their respective transformers. If you need the transformer recipes, check the video at the bottom of the page.
