Official Destiny FIX THIS SHIT Thread

[Mordent]

Are you sure people set them up right? They don't work if its done wrong. Each of Destiny's solars at peak output gives 120KW; but only at peak solar. As the sun moves, the total power drops. When it is to the aft, both solars get very little power. I set each of the solars like so: 
Input: 90KW
Output: 45: KW
90KW are sufficient unless there are lots of people doing energy intensive things; If you need more you can up it to 55KW output on each. This should build up a sufficient SMES charge to keep the ship humming.

If you set the input above 120, it will be broken most the time. Above 100, it stops working more than half the time.

100%. I'm very well-versed in the solars there. The panels don't track the sun any more (even manually adjusting them via the console), and also the cables leading from the solar panels themselves do not output power even if the sun is in the right position.
