Description[ | ]

Up to a maximum of 6 cells may be installed in a Solar Bank. Solar Banks only generate current when they have cells in them. The maximum current generated by a Solar Cell is determined by its Quality. Solar Cells cannot be used outside a Solar Bank.

Solar Cells cannot be crafted or looted; they must be bought from Secret Stash pages of Trader NPCs. Solar cells appear with a Barter level 4, even though Solar Banks require level 5. There is approximately 10% chance trader will have Solar Cell in stock.

Higher quality the Solar Cells produce more power but are significantly more expensive. There is no other difference; Solar Cells do not wear out and never need repair.

Quality Output
6 30W
5 27W
4 25W
3 22W
2 20W
1 17W

The total power output of a Solar Bank is a simple sum of the power of all the installed Cells. Empty cell locations do not otherwise affect performance and simply count as 0W. The maximum possible output of a Solar Bank is 180W.

Solar Cells can only operate during the daytime. During the entire daytime, a Solar Cell will operate at its full capacity regardless of weather or which direction the Solar Bank is facing. However, they need to be placed outdoors in order to work.
