Why aren't my solar panels giving me charge?

[Lucy1nTheSky]

Hi there. I just installed the remote tech mod and I'm trying to set up my kerbostationary comm satellites. Everything was going swell until I ran out of charge and everything shut down.

"No sweat," I thought, "I'll just wait until sunrise and everything will be peachy again in no time!"

Unfortunately that did not happen, and I was left scratching my head about what to do next? Why are my solar panels not giving me my charge back?

They should be, but then again, they are the static solar panels. They can't move, or swivel to the sun. I would suggest getting 1x6 Panels for Geo-Stationary.

Rightclick the panel and look at the info it gives you. It should tell you if it is exposed to the sun and if yes, by how much. Also it will show how much charge it is generating, if any.

The panel is generating electricity, but apparently not enough for what the ship needs.

Sun exposure was 0.91. So yes, EC should be generated. But it isn't!

Also, OP: Your image is broken.

With RemoteTech antennas require charge to run, While your solar panels may be getting Sunlight your Communications array is draining it as fast as (Or faster than) it is being gathered. This can either be solved by using more solar panels (May not actually help) or wait until you can get RTGs for constant power generation.
