Green Energy and Transformers.. what am I doing wrong here?
I'm trying to set up a green energy source but my transformers keep getting overloaded and I'm not sure why. They worked fine for awhile and then just stop.

Alright, from what I'm seeing, there needs to be 2 squares of space between a transformer and the solar panels. You don't surround the panels in cables, you just have to make sure they're not -too- close to the transformer.

You can't connect green power directly to the power grid. It HAS to go through the Transformer. So any cables connecting the solar panels to the grid have to be removed.

It doesn't look like you have two transformers (or a power plant) on a single line. When you start the transformer, does it give you input/output values before shutting back down? It's possible you're drawing too much power for the solar panels to supply, so the whole system shuts down.

It seems that the cables aren built. So no need for power. Also dont surround batteries/transformers with cables, keep a one way in and out
