About this project

What does Ultimate Solar Panels add?

The Ultimate Solar Panels

The Ultimate Solar Panels brings the classic Advanced Solar Panels mod and its addon, Super Solar Panels, back to the latest versions of Minecraft.

Enjoy a wide range of powerful solar panels, unique crafting recipes, and an advanced solar energy system designed to make solar power more dynamic and rewarding.

☀️ Solar Panel Efficiency

The energy production of each Solar Panel is measured by its Efficiency, ranging from 0% to 100%.

The efficiency is affected by several factors:

  • Day/Night Cycle — Solar Panels generate energy during the day.
  • Rain — Reduces efficiency by 30%.
  • Thunderstorm — Reduces efficiency by 100%.
  • Moon Phase — Provides an additional 0–40% efficiency bonus.
  • Lux — Can provide up to a +100% efficiency bonus.

This means that the amount of energy produced can change depending on the environment and current conditions.

Note: This is a completely standalone mod.
The code has been developed entirely by me. IndustrialCraft² (IC²) is not required to install or use this mod.

The mod uses Forge Energy (FE) as its energy system.
