The two panels are folded upward over the center when it is not exposed to sunlight.
Click each of them to connect a cable to both ends of your base.
Wrecked solar arrays produce 2u s to 4u s of power varying dynamically depending on the angle of sunlight relative to the panel meaning the maximum of 4u s is typically unachievable on the equator of a planet.
The medium solar panel is one of the power generators in astroneer it can be placed on two adjacent slots on a platform or vehicle.
Regardless of angle if sunlight exists at all in its view angle the wrecked solar array provides a minimum of 2u s.
It only produces power when exposed to sunlight.
