Buildings block solar panels?

[Shillelagh]

My solar farm is located adjacent to my starter base, and I have construction in progress of a large module for holding fuel mixers, power systems, and my refinery, but this sits infront of my starter base and towers over my solar panels (It's 3 meters tall and like 5 meters away), this won't be a problem late day but I'm afraid I'll block my panels from the sun when it comes up. Will this happen? Will installing pass-through windows stop this if it does happen?

windows let the sun pass. this is why you build windows for green houses.

"Proper planning and preparation, prevents piss poor performance."

You could, of course, create a raised platform to relocate your solar farm to, or just move them to the top of your "large module". You could extend the "roof" part out of you need more room.

Ideally, I would have my solar farm remote, with nothing around it to obstruct the line of sight to the sun, or cast shadows over them.

I know, it takes some work to move it all, but it's better in the long run, as you won't have to worry about building something else that may interfere with your solar farm in the future.

That's what i would do, since you
don't lose any materials when deconstructing them. You would just need to extend your wiring up to the new location, and if you have batteries in place already, you won't have any interruption in power.

Im working on adding some large batteries in place since I just finished my furnace, but yes the plan is to add more on top of my large module.

dude even U can block the solar panel if u place yourself between the sun and the panel prod. will decrease.... man i love this game

I've noticed that shining a flashlight on the solar panels also creates a brief moment of energy.
