This mod only works with vanilla generator.
Arz Sep 14 @ 8:44am 
Do this mod compatable with functional appliances mods? cause the battery bank doesn't reconize the green generator from that mod

Magazin will spawn in none looted areas in mp

@eddy I found an inverter in one of the big storage buildings in south Muldraugh.

Will the magazin spawn when adding this mod midgame on a MP server ?
ALVYBOI Aug 31 @ 6:11pm 
Mechanic shops or hardware stores or garages
eddy Aug 31 @ 9:03am 
where can you find an inverter?
Fumo Bnnuy n Friends Aug 15 @ 10:55pm 
im asking that too

how many solar panels needed or anything else
i put the battery holder thing with batteries and a few wired batteries the inverter next to the battery charger connected the panels and put a few unwired (yet to save power) generators i think.

@Water_gargle_CHAMPION_2011
huh, ive been trying to power the storage units in west point with a battery bank, although i cant seem to turn on the lights in the building via the light switches, might just be the location, then again im very unexperinced with this mod so i prob am doing something wrong, i figure u should just be able to turn on the bank then u should be able to turn on the lights yea? or do you have to wire them together?
@Cap from my experience is can power the whole house, no specific for placable lamps
Cap Aug 15 @ 5:51pm 
So can it power already existing light switches? or do they have to be lamps and placeable light buildings?
Fumo Bnnuy n Friends Aug 15 @ 2:11pm 
am i dumb?
how do you know if it's working?
i put the solar panels down the battery holder with some batteries in the storage and then placed down an inverter near the battery holder

i see a window but it says no backup not connected and not enough solar panels as well as 5 hrs duration. Am i missing something need more panels or another thing?

For the people bringing it up, you can change the panel connection time in the mod settings. If you have the sandbox options mod you can do it in game. Remember to quit and restart the game for the change to take place.

Can I use the solar panels to power the gas stations fuel pumps?
PixelGamerz9 Jul 24 @ 11:19am 
yeah seems to not work on multiplayer not sure why
both on this and beta might wanna check on it
Kyral Jul 23 @ 11:01am 
connecting solar panels takes hours, why is it taking so fucking long omg
Dr. Gordon Freeman Jul 20 @ 8:00pm 
why is connecting solar panels the absolute slowest thing ever. even reading in vanilla mode is faster than this. I don't get it. why punish us like this :(
SydneyVon Jun 11 @ 11:56am 
anyone having issues with this mod on multiplayer
ALVYBOI Jun 1 @ 6:01pm 
I don't remember but do I have to find the inverter?
friedmandesigns May 12 @ 10:23am 
This mod is terrific. But the default "Connect panel..." time is absolutely ridiculous. There's "Time to impart a sense of The Grind / work" in a game, and then there's "8 minutes staring at a screen that makes me wanna never use this again." This mod does the latter / second. Please change default. Cheers!

b42?
Mr.Bee May 10 @ 1:23pm 
Great mod. Got our base running only on solar. the only problem is the amount of time it takes to connect a panel to battery bank.
Cat Milk May 2 @ 10:20am 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLQXwUip1Rk Oh my god this really helped me out, amazing mod man
UsatoAsashi Apr 23 @ 8:14am 
how do i repair deep cycle battery
Beornvig Apr 10 @ 8:30am 
@Hollow this is a sandbox setting, lower it!
SAIE THE BERSERK Apr 9 @ 5:37am 
HOW THE FUCK TO MAKE HIM CONNECT FASTER WASTING 20 MIN REAL LIFE TIME!
LegoMaster80 Mar 16 @ 3:01pm 
how do i fix this square has no failsafe? i want to use my generator as a backup during stormy weather but cant find out how it works
Very much looking forward to this legendary mod, it was incredibly useful and super cool to have self sufficient renewable energy.
Vaginatarian Feb 8 @ 3:44pm 
Can you connect multiple battery banks together?
ALVYBOI Feb 4 @ 7:19am 
@Nevo No their is a specific area which is a circle that it will cover. Basically you want it at the center of a house.
Nevo Feb 2 @ 5:55am 
How do I know what houses the powerbank covers?
In a community with more houses, can I just place a powerbank somewhere in between in the houses and it will cover for all houses or does the powerbank need to be build directly next to the house, it will serve?
Dead_Pixels Jan 28 @ 11:51am 
Massive thanks for this mod, I use it in all my saves.

I also want to make a suggestion. The floor mounted solar panel and the wall mounted solar panel are almost the same angle as slanted roofs. It would be really cool if there was a version made to look like it was installed on a slanted roof. A version for all 3 roof levels, the same angle as the roof, and a bit offset. I made a quick mockup to illustrate what i mean:
- Current [drive.google.com] floor and wall mounted solar panels,
- Mockup [drive.google.com] of roof mounted solar panels
Shakal Jan 27 @ 12:14pm 
Why when i turn off the server, and turn it back on i need to reconnect all panels. Is it a bug? Anyone can help?
ALVYBOI Jan 27 @ 6:28am 
Their already are @Death.Yang
Death.Yang Jan 26 @ 10:16pm 
Would like to request a slopped roof solar panel
404_coffee.exe Jan 25 @ 8:56pm 
I like it, Wonder what kind of builds people have made.
Pandacake Jan 25 @ 8:05pm 
@cleomouri Check the default settings in the ISA scriptblock in the SandboxVars.lua file. The solar panel efficiency is set to default 25 out of 100 max, so 25 Ah would match that value.
cleomouri Jan 24 @ 8:59am 
and they are flat on the roof
cleomouri Jan 24 @ 8:58am 
@alvyboi - Flat roof panels
ALVYBOI Jan 23 @ 10:10am 
@cleomouri Which panels are you working with ? I believe that if you are using an angled panel it wont generate as much because of coverage.
cleomouri Jan 23 @ 9:37am 
Question - Anyone know why panels seem to be generating less than they should?

Wiki says they should generate 83 Ah/panel. I have 9 up right now and they are only making 233.4 Ah - so 25.9 Ah a panel.

It's only August in our game and the panels are on the roof completely clear getting full sun.
ALVYBOI Jan 22 @ 3:18pm 
LMAO I didnt read
tilarium Jan 22 @ 1:23pm 
You mean like the beta that's been available for a while now? Maybe like the one that is linked in the description?
ALVYBOI Jan 22 @ 12:20pm 
Will this be getting an update for build 42 ???
Cap'n Crowbar Jan 2 @ 1:40pm 
This mod is indispensable for my long-term Zomboid playthroughs.
homeworld Dec 27, 2024 @ 2:13pm 
Much love for this mod and it is very missed in unstable! :cherrypie:
SexyPanda Dec 27, 2024 @ 12:18pm 
I would suggest waiting only because you can only adjust the battery life on a new game.
0OO0 Dec 27, 2024 @ 11:13am 
hey, this is the 1 must have mod ever and i was wondeing if the update is soon enough or no? im thinking of making a new small game on b42 so should i wait for it or is it gonna take a long while still? or could i add it later? thx:cchearts:
Kal Dec 27, 2024 @ 2:15am
