Problem with solar panels on CV (Reforged Eden)

[vito217]

I play multiplayer with a friend. I'm making a CV from bluepirints, but when I add solar panels, they don't work. I'm trying to build them in space and on planets but it doesn't help. My friend has a CV with panels and everything is ok. Any solutions??

try sorting your device list than loging out and back in maybe even exit game after setting them on your cv see if that helps. also keep in mind the panels dont work like in baces thay only reduce your power usage. use the p button to check your usage be for you place the pannel and than agan after you should see a small reduction in use.

Yes the solution is simple:

I already did that and it didn't change anything. In my friend cv solar panels have green light. The light on my ship's panels are off

CV solar doesnt' light up. It doesn't produce power, it only reduce power usage instead.

Be it RE, PE, Vanilla, here my checklist about solar stuff:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Solar Panels and Capacitators - If you think they don't work...
---------------------------------------------------------------

If you think these devices don't work or are bugged, don't despair but run this checklist:

- Capacitators will fill up as long as your structure is at idle operation without any heavy energy-consuming devices running; if capacitators are empty (they have 1500 fuel equivalent to use) then power is obtained from your fuel tanks if any.

- A sufficient number of panels and capacitators must be installed depending on your energy demands. Check device consumption in the device description, and add-up the numbers for devices that you plan to run at the same time.

- Your panels must be orientated towards the sun, and the weather must be fine to fill the capacitators; never a problem in space but planets have sun shining interruptions.

- You can watch the capacitators fill up or drain in real-time in the Control menu, left side, under 'Power left'. If they don't increase when not fully charged then or you lack panels and/or capacitators, or there is no sun towards your panels, or something drains energy in your structure.

CV solar capacitors do not exist in RE.
