How do i fix solar panel?

Hi :).
Cant understand how to fix the solar panel :)

Salvage parts from any of the dozens of ruined solar panels you'll find underwater or on enemy islands; once you've salvaged one ruined panel, the option to build them will be added the the "electrical" section of the build page. You probably won't get enough parts from a single salvaged panel to build a new one - just keep salvaging them until you have enough. Note that you'll need quartz to build panels - at the moment (unless they've changed it) I think you can only find that at Radio Island (use the ore detector).

As a hint, there is a panel you can salvage on the roof of the trading post, and there are two or three on the roofs of the "Apartments" underwater area once you can dive a little deeper.

Initially, wind turbines will be much easier to build - same process: harvest fan blades from ruined windmills in the world (or buy them from the trader), then you can build them at your base. The most difficult material they require is steel.

I found quartz on a small island with a 3 story tower on it. Also has some iron/copper.
Its the island where you can get on the first level, then there is a ramp to the second level. Only has like 20 guys on it. Its pretty small, about the size of the bridge base.

It's called "Small Rock Island" and you're quite right - there is quartz there; I didn't know that before I read your post - thanks!

Since I checked it out, I've also found quartz in a few other places, so the devs clearly added some more when they changed the solar panel building costs.
