Solar Panels seem to be bugged...
Need More Information
If you dont have a battery (see screen shots) they solar panels wont output hardly any power what so ever... i've tested this without mods on a brand new save and here are the result... i've included the save that started me on this test as well that did have mods on it. This is not a mod conflict.... if you dont have batteries on your grid, your solar panels will not output enough power to run the basic refinery, and will marginally run the basic assembler, in some cases...
I have the same bug 
and the associated saves in question...

Hello, Engineer!
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues.
However we seem to not be observing the issue you've described. Max Output of the solar panels seem to be approximately the same on your screenshots, taking into account the amount of sunlight available. Current Output is naturally higher when batteries are present on the grid, as batteries are being recharged and are taking all available current output.
In regards to powering the refinery and assembler, please take note of required input of those blocks and solar panel's max output, one panel is indeed not enough to run those blocks.
A battery has a higher max output and is capable of running both blocks at maximum required input while it has charge.
Could you please provide a video of the issue in closer detail? At the moment everything seems to be working as intended.
Kind Regards
