Select action group 1, click on your solar panel, and click 'toggle solar panel' (or some such) to add this command to the AG. Then in flight, you can tap 1 to open and close your panels.

Firstly, you need another solar panel. Each device requires one unit of power, so you''ll need at least 2 for this setup (one for the controller and one for the science experiment). Secondly, once set up, have your kerbal (engineer or scientist)
Making them fit in a fairing has forced me to make ungodly infernal robotics contraptions, which would wobble, hit the spacecraft, and break the panels forcing me to relaunch ten times or more until I finally didn''t break anything. This got me thinking: there are procedural parts mods for practically every single part type except solar panels
What @Martian Emigrant said, really, although the masses are rather high for the amount of fixes, depending on what''s broken. Solar panels weigh almost nothing... I''d suggest instead that spares be treated like a fuel or ore - you carry N kg, and this allows you to replace parts up to that weight (or maybe you require 50% the weight of the part to repair it). If you
It''s possible that may have been a contributing factor, but I think the primary cause was that whatever parts I had using EC were using it faster than the solar panels could replenish, and it looked like they weren''t charging. Also, the Remote Tech flight computer had the satellite pointed in a certain direction, and as a result I couldn''t turn it.
Kerbal Space Program 1 ; KSP1 Gameplay and Technical Support ; KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs) Solar panels won''t generate power Solar panels won''t generate power I though, ''that''s odd'', and looked into why. Turns out, none of the solar panels in my game work anymore. I''m pretty sure that they still worked after installing the
I had the problem on a previous version where my solar panels would not generate electricity. Turns out Kopernicus was at fault. It''s happening again on 1.4.4. I presume Kopernicus is still at
Solar panels cannot be deployed or closed if electricity resource level is 0 (ie. no battery, or depleted batteries) On that last point, here is a big mistake I''ve done numerous times: launch my probe, set it to course, fast-forward... and I forgot to deploy panels, now power is 0 and I have to start the mission all over again.
The SP-10C is a deployable solar panel with a unique circular shape. These panels generate electric charge only when extended and directly illuminated by the light of
the normal Solar panel module is disabled because the mod turns it into the Kopernicus version but it''s not working, it is for multiple light sources as a visual effect on the panels. I am not entirely sure of the problem yet and how to fix it.

I am wondering if there''s a way to make solar panels deploy automatically (or retract automatically) when my current electric charge storage reaches a certain point.
That was one of the cryptic clues (specifically day 8) in the Kerbal Kountdown (counting down the days to the release of 1.0). The clues were originally posted on Twitter by KasperVld was 8 because we''re currently in the 8th Saros Cycle of eclipses.
Hi, I don''t know why but I can''t open solar panel with right click. I have try to add action group and I have the same issue. Do you have solution ? see the following screen shot
Seems some Mods interfere with each other. Or you need to upgrade the VAB to level2 - "Basic Action Groups availiable" . The Options -open -close -toggle are missing. On the Launchpad just rightclick the paneels and choose extend/retract.
Kerbal Space Program 1 ; KSP1 Discussion ; Solar Panel Effectiveness for the transmissions, or you need a fuel cell you turn on only when transmitting. For anything having a long-term and high EC consumption (life support, Kerbalism, drililng, and refining), you need a nuclear reactor. solar panels are insufficient to keep crewed rovers
Those solar panels are powering a mining unit and ore converter, converting the ore into fuel. The solar panels are there to generate the excessive amounts of electricity needed. That video you mentioned shows this. At the 9:52 mark he puts an ore converter into the starship.
In the VAB or SPH click the middle blue tab at the top, then click the part you want to assign (in this case, the solar panel). Now click the "group 1" in the left column, and "toggle panel" (or similar) in the right column. Once you
Usage. One panel creates enough energy to keep one IX-6315 "Dawn" Electric Propulsion System at maximum thrust and a distance to Kerbol similar to that of Kerbin, under the premise that it is able to orient itself
Right click the Solar Array and select "Extend Panels". All moving parts in KSP can be activated by right clicking them and selecting the action from a dropdown menu.
im trying to make "custom" solar panels using the breaking ground robotics, is there a way to make them track the sun like normal solar panels? Share Add a Comment Sort by:
The energy output of solar panels depends on their orientation to Kerbol. Except for the surface-mounted OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels (and its larger brother OX-STAT-XL Photovoltaic Panels), all panels will automatically
This pack contains various solar panels that I''ve sourced from spacecraft concepts. They range from small concentrated solar panels to massive blanket solar arrays. For more info check
So I launched a satellite with 2 OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels, but i forgot to orient it properly once I reached orbit. So the panels are almost edge on to the sun . However, one of the panels is still getting 4% sun exposure and "producing energy" (it says energy flow = 0.017). The problem is that the batteries still aren''t charging.
I am wondering if there''s a way to make solar panels deploy automatically (or retract automatically) when my current electric charge storage reaches a certain point. Kerbal Space Program 1 ; KSP1 Mods ; KSP1 Mods Discussions ; but once it''s actually figured out, the code to "do X" usually turns out to be simple and straightforward. So
Alright thanks, I saw enterelysium and some other guys do it and i wanted to it''ll save much time because generically i just right click and extended them all tooks a while
While repairable landing legs, repairable wheels, and repackable parachutes have been in the game for a little while, solar panels have never been fixable. I don''t know if they are going to add repair-ability to them now that there is an engineer class, but I
I was wondering is it possible to extend all the solar panels at one time instead of having to click on each one to extend it. It gets kind of annoying with a lot of solar panels. Kerbal Space Program > General Discussions > Topic Details. netzone23. May 24, 2016 @ 11:39am Can I auto extend all solar panels at once. I was wondering is it
Right, but the whole point was that you''d need a Kerbal to EVA to deploy the solar panels, meaning you''d have one that could deploy the parachutes! I like using static (fixed) solar panels. So I had to turn the ship correct way to the sun using EVA like hundreds times.
It''s also helpful to note that action groups combine when assembling larger craft. For example, if you''re building a space station, and you assign certain actions (e.g. toggle comm-antenna) to custom01 to one station part, and different actions (toggle solar panels) to custom01 a different station part; when the two components are joined in orbit, the actions for custom01
When I finally got the better solar panels (grey and white folding ones), I tried putting them on my ship. To my surprise, I can''t open the grey panels at all and the white ones, open automatically
If you got other solar panels you could just fly a kerbal into the solar panels in the way :P(found out that at relatively low speeds the kerbals destroys the panels really easy :3) Would save time having to install/uninstall mods. #7. Kevin. May 18, 2015 @ 3:32pm I just had a thought. You MIGHT be able to (quite easily) edit your save file.

This is something that IMHO should be implemented, because unlike all other parts that break but don''t explode, solar panels can''t be fixed by any kind of kerbal. I mainly made this thread because my Multipurpose Space Station (MSS) is now lopsided and I''ve been itching for a non-cheaty solution to fix the broken panel, and I''m annoyed by the inconsistency that I
The action groups can make this operation much easier: by using the Toggle Panels or Extend Panels command, the player can extend several solar panels with a single keystroke. The electricity generation efficiency depends on the distance to Kerbol and the orientation of the panels.
You can also set a key to open and close solar panels using an action group, if you have many panels. Thank You Guys!! Sorry for the seemingly silly question. Right click the Solar Array and select "Extend Panels". All moving parts in KSP can be activated by right clicking them and selecting the action from a dropdown menu.
You can also set a key to open and close solar panels using an action group, if you have many panels. Just giving specifics. When you're in the VAB building, if you look to the top middle of the screen you'll also see "action groups," which allow you to set an action to a certain key.
Holding down alt allows you to right click and select several parts simultaneously. You can transfer fuel from tanks and docked ships this way. Left clicking on the doors of your command pods or the Kerbal avatar screens allow you to select which Kerbal to go on EVA.
Left clicking on the doors of your command pods or the Kerbal avatar screens allow you to select which Kerbal to go on EVA. On the bottom right of the screen where your Kerbal avatars are, you can hover your mouse over their screens and select IVA where you can get a nice cockpit view of your space travels.
