Which one is better.
Rimworld solar panel vs gennerator.
Solar panels i ve been doing challenge maps lately ice sheet extreme cassandra permadeath and i ve had a lot of failures.
It has much smaller space requirements than a wind turbine but provides no power at night or during an eclipse.
Solar energy is in some ways not as reliable as generators if you don t take the mechanical failure of a generator into account.
Fueled generator generates hardly any power but at least they do so for 3 days straight and solar panels can power a crapload during the day.
They also don t block wind turbines.
One of the most important things i ve learned is that it s important to get your power crops defenses going fast if you wanna have a chance of survival.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
Both have pros and cons and it s better to use both and have lots of batteries.
Generators are able to provide their rated power continuously however the power produced by solar panels is heavily dependent on the weather and where the van is parked ding said.

Also they don t consume anything.
It can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.
Solar makes a bit less but you can place them infront of and behind wind turbines.
The solar panels generate 5 1kw during the day that s 2kw to the grid and 3 1kw to battery charging so about 1 5kw charging batteries have 50 efficiency over 2 3 of a day in rimworld days on average are twice as long as nights or 1kwd of power.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
Geothermal must be placed on geysers but works at full strength 24 7 unless a solar flare hits.
Sometimes it s hard to source enough wood for the generators.
