I've created an HV Solar Array factory that uses managers and magtubes to connect the autocrafting tables, and energy tesseracts to power the wooden pipes. It's quite compact, modular and fast. I calculated the top speed is about 15 minutes per HV Solar Array. I haven't seen this design before so I thought I'd post it. Hope you like it.

And that is why I ban advanced solars on my server! But still, I have to compliment you on your dedication. Good job!
What are massive resources? Nah. The users don't deserve high end rewards.
Ahh, good times when I made one of these bad boys with EE2. But this is quite a bit more complicated, if at half the speed. I wonder, even though it's much more polished and smaller, if it's worth the extra time. When you say 18x4 blocks, do you mean 18x18 4 deep? If so, HV arrays can be created in the same space you have here with normal tubing and a lot more basic, though it would take more space, it would stay within the 4 chunk limit you seem to have yourself. Now, condensing this two blocks, and having it go down a few more would make this build that much more impressive.
I am not saying this isn't impressive in any way, and I am not saying I could do better (cause I sure can't). Just some tips to try out next time, or maybe a modification. Your goal should be 1 chunk, because with 1 chunk, you're able to have a small area loaded, instead of four. If one of those areas are not loaded, problems may occur.

Oh, two chunks. Well that just got twice as impressive 
Nice job, what do you have planned next? HV Arrays are probably one of the biggest factories one can make in FTB, if you can fit the two blocks in anywhere else, I suggest you do so. Also, I don't think magtubes are much of a necessity, all they do is increase speed, and for a longer output factory, it doesn't really matter much, especially since it's small, it won't need to travel much at high speed.

Massive resources? HV solar array's don't even use iridium. You have a lot of very very basic items. A small quarry could build several.
Code:
+---------------+--------+----------------------+
| material | amount | Number of stacks |
+---------------+--------+----------------------+
| rubber | 6810 | 106 stacks, 26 extra |
| iron ingot | 5193 | 81 stacks, 9 extra |
| cobblestone | 4096 | 64 stacks, 0 extra |
| copper | 3597 | 56 stacks, 13 extra |
| redstone dust | 3082 | 48 stacks, 10 extra |
| tin | 2048 | 32 stacks, 0 extra |
| coal | 1536 | 24 stacks, 0 extra |
| glass | 1536 | 24 stacks, 0 extra |
| wooden plank | 256 | 4 stacks, 0 extra |
| diamond | 1 | 0 stacks, 1 extra |
+---------------+--------+----------------------+They're the only really resource intensive thing the DW20 pack has, besides Quantum. What else is there to make in that pack?
Because you prefer massive LAG. I have to compliment you on your dedication. Good job!
No need to ban solar arrays, you can just nerf them. It's easy to do in the CompactSolars config, just change the scale factor from 1 to 2 and suddenly they all run at half output. Which turns solars from something that's borderline cost competitive with fuel-based generators into something that is far more expensive for the same output, which is a good tradeoff for not requiring fuel. The clients don't need to adjust their configs, the serverside config will overrule them.

What's the performance difference between a wooden pipe powered by a tesseract, compared to using autarchic gates?

Interesting, I didn't even think of trying tesseracts or energy cells before, since conduits cannot power wooden pipes (jumping to conclusions ftl). I assume then that energy tesseracts evenly split power through all available exits? So if I have one send tesseract and 20 receive tesseracts on the same frequency, and input 25 MJ/t, then each receiver will get 1 MJ/t?
Ya don't hafta tell me. I play Mindcrack on hard.Switch to a real man's pack
I'm just saying. For the DW20'ers, there's not many more goals to achieve.Here you go. I put up a welcome sign too hehe. My base is still a work in progress though... so many things left to improve.

Yeah you can have multiple transmitters and multiple receivers on the same frequency. Not sure what the maximum throughput is but I transmit 192MJ/t. It seems to be very good at distributing the energy too: everything seems to be getting plenty of power with two quarries running at full speed.
I added two switches so you can run the factory at half speed or turn it off entirely. I also moved the rubber chest to a better location so it won't cause lag when it overflows. If you still have too much lag, turn off one of the quarries in Age 5 and turn off HV Solar array production (gate). Here's the updated map:
