-Nanotrasen engineers are renowned for their shoddy craftsmanship and poor work ethic. You will find that none of the four solar arrays have been connected to the station. You will need to connect the solar panels and the solar tracker to the wire leading from the station. To wire a tile, hold a cable coil in hand and click an adjacent tile, this will add a wire radiating from the center of the selected tile toward your current position. [[Guide_to_construction#How_do_I_wire.3F|Wiring is best learned by trial and error.]] Using this method, connect the solar arrays and solar tracker to the station. Having excessive knotting in your wiring can sometimes cause power loss, gremlin attacks, and metaphysical anomalies, so avoid it!

-Solars often are fully neglected by but a few people, and for slightly dangerous reasons (covered in a lower section). BUT, They are the safest way to generate power for the whole station! And, if there was a black out of power already, they will always have power until hooked up, and can provide the [[Singularity Engine|engine]] APC a charge until it is set up itself.

 Once the battery has some charge, you can set the output to 50,000 - 75,000 depending on how much power you need. (If the output load is equal to the output value you set, it means the station needs more power than it's getting. Crank it up!)
-These four arms can provide enough energy to power the entire ship in the event of a [[singularity Engine|singularity engine]] failure. But, given the position to the engine, the wires will likely be eaten away and you will have charging solars that aren't connected to the station.

 ==DANGER WILL ROBINSON==
-There are a few dangers on the solars, one being the electrical wires if you forgot to wear insulated gloves: never forget or you will get zapped! In addition, you are vulnerable and alone. This leaves you an easy target for those pesky [[space carp]]s and/or space-walking [[traitor|attackers]] that need a new cover identity. Finally, there is the chance to slip and go drifting off through space. This hazard is easily solved if you act quickly. Simply throw something in the direction of your flight path, like [[shoes]], or a [[pen]]. The equal and opposite reaction will start pushing you in the other direction!

-There are four solar arrays on the station. The first, and easiest to configure, is on the rightmost side of the station just below the escape shuttle port (Starboard Array). The second is located "north" of the chapel (Auxiliary Starboard Array). The third can be found to the left of engineering (Port Array). The fourth is best accessed by going through the left maintenance door of the tool storage area (Auxiliary Port Array).
