I noticed that after the last update "Smoother, stable & faster" The battery charge with solar panel 5m doesn't work at all. It charges for 2 seconds if you place a new solar panel on the battery or the grid and then stops. During day time. Only solar panel is affected, the wind turbine like in the barn works as intended. Its the same as with player placed battery 1.5 or game placed like in starting traders outpost.
Solar panels no output after the smoother,stable,faster update
Need More Information
Hello,
I have noticed that after the latest update the solar panels are not charging the batteries anymore.
Even though the block is working, its output is 0 (zero).
Please see the attached.
Thank you.

Hello Nick Dragomir,
The position of the Solar Panel is important when calculating the energy output. For 100% efficiency, the Solar Panel should intercept the light at approximately 90 degrees. In the video you've provided, the solar panel is almost in parallel to the light direction from the Almagest.
Please try setting the Solar Panel at approx. 90 degrees to the Almagest Star and check if the output is higher.
Kind Regards,

My Solar Panels don't seem to register as powered blocks and produce zero power. In the Control Panel "Wind Turbine" have the green bar but "Solar Panel" have nothing. Wind Turbine also have an Off/On option, shouldn't Solar Panels also have this?

I put some extra panels on the Barn . Zero output on panels. Simular on space ships with panels. Wind turbine also zero output as there is no wind.

Same problem here, only affecting 5m, so having to put 10m's on...

Further testing shows that similar solar panels, in similar position relative to the sun show 0 output (even though the panels are literally next to each other).
Tested with both 5m and 10m panels, in space, both horizontal and vertical.

Can agree, solar panels in tutorial world show zero output in vertical or horizontal positions in direct sunlight on planet and in space. Makes base building in the tutorial world challenging as no alternate power is unlocked yet.

I am finding the exact same problem. I have put all my solar panels on a rotor so I can experiment with makeing sure they point at the sun. Sometimes they all generate power and sometimes only one or two of them do. Also, I flipped them 180 degrees using the rotor then they all worked. It's very strange. On top of this, I have 3 solar panels on my ship that only work when I move 20-30 meters from the main grid, even when the sun is directly above.

Hello Engineers,
This issue should already be fixed on current Game version: 2.4.0.95. Solar Panel's sensor was incorrectly detecting it to be in a shadow thus not producing enough or not producing power at all.
Could you please confirm that the Solar Panels generate power on current Game version?

Here are a couple of screen shots showing the panels in full sun and the output. You will notice that the output is zero.
