Problem with electricity (Solar Panels, cables and EU storage)

[Gaby5011]

Sorry if this is the wrong section.

So basically I have all these solar panels connected to a MFSU(?) (some box that stores EU power). The problem is that only two, sometimes three solar panels are feeding the MFSU. So basically, this sucks :3

Any help will be appreciated!

Use fibre cable for all of them and don't cross it over the top of the solar panel.

if thay are standard IC2 solars use tin cable

Only one type of cable at a time?

You're losing EU over the copper cables since it's more than 4 long. Tin probably couldn't handle the amount you've got stringed together. Best bet is to just use fibre for the rest.

tin are fine solars send many packets of 1 eu/t tin can carry 3/4 eu/t the packets dont add together

I think this will be most informative for you.

In short, you're experiencing EU loss due to cable length, and since your solar panels are only producing 1 EU/t, it's all vanishing. Use Tin cabling until you hit a bat-box or something. Then use Glass Fibre Cabling.
