solar panels / texture anyone?

[Anonymous]

Anyone got a solar panel object or photovaltaic texture that they would like to share?

Thanks in advance

Not a texture, but ACE has a nice photovoltaic material:

Good point, we do a lot of these now. I will find/make a good shader with image file/texture, as a PNG file. Typically the material has been enough, but it would be nice to get the alpha effect/shadows from the panels without the white backing, I like those kind, but they are becoming scarce, the white backing seems to be gaining popularity in manufacturing circles.

to answer my own question! yes there is now a library part in the AC12 library - do a search for solar. The texture applied is pretty poor though.

Here is a texture attached if anyone want it.

Could you place it in the Depository?

Thank you for texture, Lennox!

And there is the right place and time to ask - does anyone have a solar pannel library part? 😉

Kliment, you are welcome to use my HWS. I've modified to turn the tank off.
Rename, use as you see fit. Version 11.
