Daylight Solar Panel
The Daylight Solar Panel delivers 4 EU/t under open sky — four times the base panel — and powers your LV machines all day in Ala Industrial.
Description
The Daylight Solar Panel cannot be crafted at a table. The only way to obtain one is to evolve a base Solar Panel with a Solar Evolution Chip, after which the panel must work for about 33600 active ticks (a few clear in-game days) before it transforms; the stored EU carries over. Generation follows the sky: clear daylight yields 4 EU/t, a glass block above changes nothing, leaves or cobweb reduce output to about 2 EU/t, and snow leaves only a 1 EU/t trickle. Energy exits through the four sides and the bottom — the top face is the working surface, so it must stay open to the sky. The Daylight Solar Panel pairs naturally with a Battery Box, charging it through the day for evening use.

Java Edition Guide
How to get a Daylight Solar Panel in Minecraft
-
1
Place a base Solar Panel
Craft and place a tier-1 Solar Panel where it can see the daytime sky.
-
2
Insert a Solar Evolution Chip
Drop a Solar Evolution Chip into the base panel to start the day-branch evolution.
-
3
Wait through clear days
Let the panel work for about 33600 active ticks (roughly a few clear in-game days) until it transforms into a Daylight Solar Panel.
-
4
Keep the top face open
Place the evolved panel under open sky — its top face is the working surface, so do not cover it.
-
5
Connect it to storage
Wire the LV output into a Battery Box or your machines so the 4 EU/t charges through the day.
The Daylight Solar Panel is obtained only by evolution, not by a crafting grid. In REI or JEI, press R to read the evolution info page.

Frequently asked questions
How much EU does the Daylight Solar Panel generate?
The Daylight Solar Panel generates 4 EU/t under a clear daytime sky, four times the 1 EU/t of the base Solar Panel.
Does the Daylight Solar Panel work at night?
No. The Daylight Solar Panel produces 0 EU at night and shuts down in rain or thunder.
How do you craft a Daylight Solar Panel?
You cannot craft it. The only way is to evolve a base Solar Panel with a Solar Evolution Chip over about 33600 active ticks.
What is the energy buffer of the Daylight Solar Panel?
The Daylight Solar Panel holds up to 8000 EU in its internal buffer and outputs it on an LV line up to 20 EU/t.
Does weather affect the Daylight Solar Panel?
Yes. Rain and thunder drop output to 0, snow leaves a 1 EU/t trickle, and leaves or cobweb above reduce it to about 2 EU/t.
Is the Daylight Solar Panel renewable?
It is not craftable. Each panel is grown from a base Solar Panel, so it is only as renewable as your supply of base panels and Solar Evolution Chips.
