Solar panels do not produce power
Submitted
My first open classic survival start doesn't seem to have functional solar panels. I've built many, none seem to work reliably. I've seen power generation numbers occasionally for less than a second but then zeros. NPC station panels seem to work fine.
I've tested in several other game saves, including new classic survival starts and a more current 'normal' default start. Could not reproduce.
Attaching game save file here (I think) so that somebody could potentially try to confirm.

After trying several new games and not reproducing and finally breaking down and trying a new start at station save; literally done nothing. Spawned. Hopped in ship. Docked it to connector immediately right there. Check solar - zip. Station making solar power, ship with single panel facing same direction as station...zip.
Extremely unlikely but so far only similarity - both were initial first starts in the chosen world type.

I've noticed that the solar panels need the sun to be fairly high in the sky to start cranking out power, but I've seen them work, just not all of the available daytime.
