Talk:Mars Solar Panels 1/@comment-69.1.27.102-20170428212646

Solar panels cost half a million and produce 1000 W, vs Nuclear reactors costing $3M and producing 4000 W. Nuclear reactors also decay into 1000 Waste after 18,000 seconds. So as long as you have plenty of shipping capacity to Mars and surface area to put them down, Solar Panels are a better deal than Nuclear.

4 Solar panels and 5 Parts can be used to build a 2x2 Solar Plant that produces 5000 W, making it more efficient on a power per square basis than 4 1x1 Solar panels.
