==Description==
Solar Cells were first introduced in A16. 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 (Skill)|Barter]] level 4, even though [[Solar Bank|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.

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.
