Solar Panel

The Solar Panel is a Functional Block in Space Engineers.

Function
Solar Panels are quite useful on a ship or station, especially when used with batteries. they provide energy only from sunlight, making them a completely infinite and renewable energy source.

They do not provide very much energy though, meaning they often are best used in conjunction with Nuclear Reactors, keeping the ship or station functioning indefinitely while stationary, with Reactors using there uranium mostly when the ship or structure is mobile or using functional blocks with a high amount of energy demand to them.

Options
Like nearly all Functional Blocks, there is the option to Hide the Block from being able to be viewed on the Terminal, and the option to have it shown on the HUD of an Engineer, provided there is an active Antenna connected to the structure.
