Strategy notes
Paid Solar Power Arrays produce 60 base local power for 2 credits per hour and 25 workers, with no fuel upkeep. Existing generation, research, or defence benefits still apply through their ordinary bounded rules.
Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. Favor this technology when its Energy benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects. Complete every prerequisite before adding research progress. Generation is finite, local, staffed, and funded; this research does not transmit power between worlds. Unlocks paid Solar Power Array construction; ordinary funding, staffing, integrity, and work caps apply.
