Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.
Do windmills worki with solar panels under them rimworld.
Solar panels supply 1700w during the day while turbines can supply up to 3000w max and will work both day and night.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather it works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day.
Jul 2 2018 10 39am yeah i knew about the solar panels.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank.
Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.
It has much smaller space requirements than a wind turbine but provides no power at night or during an eclipse it can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather it works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day.
Just as long as the turbine itself is in the zone.
Jul 2 2018 12 18pm also watch the overhead mountain areas if you re placing them in tight areas next to hills.
They don t like fire.
They also don t make much power but they re reliable predictable and cheap.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
Solar panels under wind turbines work great for saving space 3.
If there is still a little overhang in one of their zones.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
Just make sure you leave space so you can get to the wind turbine later when it breaks down.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
Wind turbines can also share restricted zones.
An important thing to note is that neither solar panels nor crop fields block the turbines and so can be placed in their wind zones for compact.
