Power generator

The very first power machine you get in Solarpunk is it Power generator. This works well for the early game, but will eat up your resources in the long run. The most effective material you can put in the Power Generator is Woodbut you can also burn up some leaves or other less important materials if you have excess.

Your first is gifted to you by Tradebot when you give them 4 watermelons. The rest you have to unlock energy bench, where you can unlock Energy workbench and build more power buildings.

Solar panel

Another good power generator for early game is Solar panel. It is best to pair this with a Power Generator and a Battery so you can store the power from the panel while the generator is running. The solar panel does not generate power at night.

Windmill

Continuing the pattern of renewable energy is Windmill. This power source runs all the time but will provide less power on low wind days and more power during storms.

Sky Turbine

One of the most powerful power generators is Sky Turbinebut be warned, this one takes up a lot of space. There is a large base that the turbine attaches to while floating in the air to catch the wind and generate energy.

Wooden windmill

The last power generator you get from the Energy Bench is Wooden windmill. This one takes a lot of wood to make, but if you have one Rangerit won't be a problem. It produces twice as much energy as the regular windmill, so you can save some space by replacing windmills with wooden windmills.
