Solar
by Ghost
Solar adds solar panels and related items to Fabric, so players can generate electricity from sunlight for their machines.
What it does
The mod adds more content around power generation. Solar energy products produce electricity, and the power they make can be passed between connected machines, so energy from kinetic sources can be linked into the same network. Silicon solar items are added as ingredients, and the solar items are available through crafting.
Solar is a technology mod for players who want to expand power generation in a Fabric world. It is published for Fabric only, with game versions 1.18.2 – 1.19.4 and four release versions in total. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Solar power generation
Solar products generate electricity from sunlight, adding a renewable source to the power network.
Interconnected power
Kinetic energy sources and solar products can feed into a shared network, so machines draw from several sources.
Silicon solar items
Silicon is used to craft solar items, which become available as the power content grows.
Crafting recipes
Solar items are obtained through crafting, so players gather materials and build the generators themselves.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Renewable power for machinery
A player who runs machines from a solar panel array can power them without burning fuel.
Mixed power networks
Players who already use kinetic sources can connect solar products to the same network.
Who it’s for: Players who want more power generation options in a Fabric world, and server owners who want the solar content on a shared server.
