The OX-4L 1x6 Photovoltaic Panels are arranged in a 1 by 6 pattern. It is a is cheaper and lighter version of SP-L 1x6 without the protective shells or ability to be retracted.
Contents
Usage
The OX-4L 1x6 deploy a 1×6 solar cell layout. There is also a OX-4W 2x3 version available with a 2x3 layout. These panels generate electric charge only on extended state and directly illuminated by the light of Kerbol. For putting it operational just choose the Extend Panels option in the popping up menu by right-clicking on it. The action groups can make this operation much easier: by using the Toggle Panels or Extend Panels command, the player can extend several solar panels with a single keystroke.
The electricity generation efficiency depends on the distance to Kerbol and the orientation of the panels. The panels set in the optimal orientation automatically, but sometimes even this can not ensure the 2 unit/second specified at Kerbin's distance every time (shadowed by the craft, etc.).
These panes are very vulnerable in extended state, a minor shaking or even the winds can break them off. Because of this, you have to move very slowly and carefully with extended panels on the celestial bodies, as the OX-series panels cannot be retracted.
