I have a small array of tier 1 solar panels all connected to an mfe via 2x insulated gold cable. I moved the setup, and now there is no power flow. I can put a batpack or tool in the panel, that works. When given a charged lappack, the mfe will correctly draw power from it. so it seems that the gold cable is not conducting eu's. All the panels are nuder direct sight of sky. Mfe is oriented correctly. I have plenty of experience with IC2, but this is just being silly!

How far are your tier 1 solars from your MFE? Gold cable isn't that efficient at low voltages. Try using the tin Ultra Low Current stuff.

Less than five blocks. I highly doubt all of the eu is being lost in that short of a distance.

Update: I replaced the gold with low current. You were right! Looks like I need to re-research ic2! Thank you for the help! Clearly I've goten far too used to glassfibre cable XD
