About this project
What does Advanced Solar Panels Classic add?
Advanced Solar Panels Classic is a faithful and direct adaptation of the classic Advanced Solar Panels mod, built specifically for Industrial Craft 2 Classic. This mod revives and expands upon the beloved gameplay mechanics, introducing new powerful tiers of solar energy and unique equipment tailored for the IC2 Classic universe.
What's Inside?
⚡️ Five Tiers of Solar Panels:
Scale up your power production with a logical and powerful progression chain:
Advanced Solar Panel: A solid upgrade, generating 8 EU/t during the day and 1 EU/t at night/rain.
Hybrid Solar Panel: A significant leap in efficiency, producing 64 EU/t by day and 8 EU/t by night.
Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panel: For industrial-scale power, delivering a massive 512 EU/t during daylight and 64 EU/t at night.
Quantum Solar Panel: Enters the realm of end-game power with a staggering 4096 EU/t output during the day and 2048 EU/t at night.
Photon Solar Panel: The pinnacle of solar technology, generating an immense and constant 32,768 EU/t – day or night!
🧢 Solar-Powered Helmets:
Take your power source with you! The mod adds four solar helmets that function identically to their panel counterparts, directly charging your armor and inventory items.

🔄 Molecular Transformer:
A versatile and energy-intensive machine capable of transmuting one item directly into another. The energy cost for each transformation is defined per recipe. The best part? You can add your own custom recipes easily via the MolecularTransformerRecipes.cfg configuration file, making it an incredibly powerful tool for custom modpacks and expert players.
Perfect Harmony with IC2 Classic Rebalanced
For the most balanced and rewarding IC2 Classic experience, I highly recommend installing this mod alongside my other overhaul: Industrial Craft 2 REBalanced. They are designed to work in perfect synergy, offering a cohesive and challenging progression from early game to end-game.
Dive in and power your world with the ultimate sun-powered technology!
