Here you can see solar panel, right clicked info to see "Jool is blocking" it. While Jool is behind camera far away. Electric 0, had to use infinity electronic to gain control.

SP-10C solar panels say they're blocked by Jool, but in fact they are not - see image.

I had this occur on my save as well.

Panels were fine outside of Jool SoI but as soon as I got within the SoI they said they were blocked.

Time warped further in system and somewhere around 500,000 km away from Jool they magically started working again. After they started working in Jool SoI they seemed to keep working in Jool SoI even if I let my encounter pass and ended up really far away again

Upon entering Tylo SoI they occluded again until I was about 2600km from Tylo.

The rest of the SoI changes I had on that mission (Tylo -> Jool -> Vall -> Jool -> Tylo -> Jool -> Laythe -> Jool -> Jool high atmosphere -> Jool orbit worked fine.

I had tried quick save/load, full save/load and full reboots of the game but would always get panels blocked when entering Jool first time and Tylo first time.

I have a zipped save file from shortly before the Jool SoI change if it's proving difficult to reproduce.

i have the same issue. i also noticed that jool goes invisible when in high orbit and only becomes visible when getting closer, i dont know if this is related but it is something i noticed.

Solar panels are blocked by Jool, despite the fact I am far below Jool, the sun is cearly. Not sure how to recreate it, more of reporting this just to make it clear that there is a bug with it.

Just after entering the Jool SOI my EC went to zero and my solar panels are reporting Blocked By Jool and won't charge. As you can see from the two screenshots my spacecraft is lit up and my orbit is not such that I am blocked by Jool.

When in very high Jool orbit in direct LoS of star, solar panels report blocked.

Glad this is a known issue, guess I'll have to wait until the next patch to continue my mission.

The solar panels stopped producing electricity as soon as the craft entered Jool's SoI.

Edit: They started working again as the craft went deeper into the Joolean system, seems to be an issue near the SoI boundary.
