The '''Advanced Solar Panel''' is part of the [[Advanced Solar Panels]] add-on to {{IC2}} and is an upgrade to the standard [[Solar Panel]]. In turn, it can be upgraded into a [[Hybrid Solar Panel]] and [[Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panel]]. It makes 8 EU/t during the day and 1 EU/t during the night. If it is raining or snowing, it will also make 1 EU/t, regardless of the time of day. Like all solar panels, it will not generate energy if its view of the sky is obstructed by a non-transparent block.

Unlike the [[Solar Panel]], the Advanced Solar Panel has a small internal battery which can store up to 32,000 EU (by comparison, a [[BatBox]] stores up to 40,000 EU). It also has four internal slots which can be used to charge most IndustrialCraft tools and energy packs (though more advanced items like the [[Mining Laser]] may take considerable time to charge). The Advanced Solar Panel is a low voltage generator and will output at 32 EU/t independent of how much it generates. For this reason, it is recommended to use [[Copper Cable]] or [[Glass Fibre Cable]] to wire the panel.
−
Unlike other electric devices, breaking this item with an iron pick will give the player an Advanced Solar Panel back.
−
−
Assuming you didn't get the iridium from UU-matter, the 2 UU-matter needed to craft an Advanced Solar Panel still takes 333333 EU to create (with scrap). It will take around 3 to 4 minecraft days in sunlight for it to break even.

==Recipe==
−
Advanced Solar Panels have two crafting recipes: the normal IC<sup>2</sup> recipe and a tougher recipe added by the [http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/GregTech GregTech] mod. The FTB config files are set up by default to use the GregTech recipe. The easier recipe can be used by setting the 'hard-mode:' variable in the Advanced Solar Panel config to false. You can always use the NEI Recipe viewer to determine which recipe your FTB pack is configured to use.
−
−
−
Using the default, 'hard' recipe, the most valuable materials needed to craft the advanced solar panel are 1 [[Iridium Ingot]], 2 [[UU-matter]] and 1 diamond. It also requires several advanced machines. As such, these difficult-to-obtain ingredients make the Advanced Solar Panel a late-game item in many cases. (NOTE: As of 1.4.7, the gregtech recipe is the default recipe even without having gregtech installed)

==Uses==
−
The main use of an Advanced Solar Panel is to allow you to generate more power in less space as compared to a [[Solar Panel]].
−
−
Since it has a relatively high generation rate, you can treat the Advanced Solar Panel as a portable charger.
−
−
It can also be used to power an [[Electrical Engine]] all day without needing a large space for storage and wiring. Between its generation rate and internal battery, it will provide enough energy to run it for 2/3 of a minecraft day.

The Advanced Solar Panel is used to craft the [[Hybrid Solar Panel]] and [[Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panel]]
