Uses
- Solar Arrays are an ideal match to bases that already have lots of Batteries for power storage, since they don't provide power at night.

Trivia
- The Solar Array will pivot to follow the sun.
- Placing solar arrays at a polar location will sometimes allow for continuous power, if the sun stays above the solar panel.
- A Solar Array produces less power than a Medium Platform B fully loaded with solar panels, which produces 17 power under medium sunlight to the Array's 14.
- The Solar Array is the largest craftable solar panel in the game and the largest one that can be moved by hand or packaged. However, the Wrecked Solar Array beats it handily for sheer output, being over 4 times more powerful.
