When i dock shuttles together most of the time i forget to close the solar panels and crash into  them. Can you make the engineers be able to repair it.

Maybe but you have to go and collect every single panel that floats away! Honestly, I think that would be overpowered but the engineer's ability to fix destroyed wheels over and over is also overpowered so I don't know. I always quick save once I have my two vessels within about 100 m of each other (as well as retracting solar panels though). I also dock at speeds less than 0.5 m/s to maintain control.

Also your thread subject should be something like "Engineers should be able to fix solar panels"; that's much more informative and useful than just "Engineer". That's good advice for any forum; other forum users will appreciate it.

And welcome to the KSP forum!

Tbh, I would rather have an ability to attach new ones (just like in KIS/KAS). That's better than creating them out of thin air (or rather vacuum in this case).
