Surving mars solar panels.
Its effectiveness is decreased by dust accumulation and during dust storms.
Solar panel is a power building in surviving mars.
You can build solar panels and anything else.
Mars is an extremely dusty place and all of that red dirt loves to cling to your shiny solar panels.
Also you can use the space betwen them to place solar panels or wind turbines etc.
The easiest and quickest is to build large solar panels.
Now let s look at the power outputs.
The benefit is that you do not need to pay maintenance on the solar panels and no it is generally not worth it because domes are not cheap and solar panels don t produce that much electricity per hex.
Water deposits aren t reliable once your population goes above 1000 even if you manage your farms properly with the reclamation spire eventually you will need to set up vaporators but with the 50 upgrade you don t need as much free space as you might think.

I can t remember the last time i actually built solar panels or batteries.
Stirlings are far and away better and once you ve got the artificial sun wonder you rarely need anything else.

Yeah i was wondering on the feasibility of this while i am less inclined to do so for solar panels it does sounds nice early on for sterling engines because of the polymer maintenance but i guess it makes no diffrence.
