☀️Solar Panel

Informational Guide on the Duskwork's Solar Panel and trivia on previous usage from the Ad Astra Landings.

In the original Ad Astra landings, the very first fully fledged building on Mars was a solar panel array secured to Martian regolith. These arrays were more primitive than the ones we have now but were capable of securing an efficiency rating of 29.5%. The Ad Astra Development Zone is famous for its vast solar panel array farms that stretch out to the horizon, all used in efforts to power the city.

Duskwork's are more efficient than the ones originally used in the landings but they'll be your main source of power. They take in standardized power cells into their slots and are able to charge them fairly quickly.

Power is needed for everything we do on Mars. Likelihood is, you have several empty power cells in your inventory. You might be wondering what to do with them. Your Solar Panel is going to be your best friend.

Calibrate Power Inverter

The power inverter within the solar panel converts the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), AC has the benefits of having less power loss due to high voltage transmission, easier to transform, easy to shut down while the power is flow, and there isn't a need to worry about positive and negative voltage. While DC is better for ultra-long distance transmission. Sometimes the inverter may go out of calibration however, and electricians are required to calibrate them.

Although, you could just calibrate them for the fun of it, and the experience.
