Quick Answer
Design solar around three numbers: critical load, daytime surplus target, and night buffer duration.
Solar Planning Table
| Metric | Goal |
|---|---|
| Daylight coverage | 100% of critical load |
| Charge surplus | Enough for evening peak |
| Night reserve | No critical downtime |

FAQ
Should I overbuild panels early?
Moderately, but not at the cost of core progression systems.
Is battery or panel upgrade better first?
Depends on whether your issue is generation or storage.
Can solar support co-op sessions?
Yes, with stronger storage and clearer load scheduling.
What is the top solar mistake?
Ignoring night-time demand when sizing the system.

FAQ
Is solar power enough in Outbound?
Solar can be excellent for baseline loads if paired with proper battery sizing and a backup plan for low-generation periods.
How many panels should I build first?
Start with enough to cover critical daytime load plus charging margin, then scale with consumption.
Why does my solar setup still brown out?
Most brownouts come from poor storage sizing or unscheduled heavy loads outside generation windows.
Should I run hybrid energy systems?
Hybrid setups are often safer for growth because they reduce dependency on one generation pattern.
