Solar Panel
Solar panels run in daylight. Output peaks at noon. Rain multiplies the remaining curve by 0.4. A solar eclipse stops them. A solid block overhead also stops them. Night is 0.
MK2 peak is three times the first panel.
Generates power during the day, peaking at noon Heavily reduced in rain, completely offline during eclipses Stops working when solid blocks cover it overhead
