There are quite a few mods and scripts out there that you can use and some of them were already suggested.
Using rotor for solar panels space engineers.
Simply place the base part and a 2 axis solar tracking system is automatically set up.
My first real attempt at building a solar tower for isy s solar rotation script hopefully it all goes to plan.
Using rotors is the most efficient way to use solar panels as well as oxygen farms but rotors can sometimes play havoc with the game engine.
Rotors are composed of two sections.
Some new construction actually happens.
Oh i found a screenshot of one of my first builds with the script.
A solar panel attached to a large ship produces a maximum of 120 kw when aimed directly at the sun.
Once the output is high enough the rotors will stop spinning until the max output falls below the threshold.
The larger external casing called stator and the inner shaft with an attachment plate the rotor itself.
Eventually they start shaking then i build a one sided u panel because connecting two rotors like that is a pain in the ass.
Fixed update of power in solar panel.
For single axis tracking remove the 2nd axis hinge parts and the baseplate will continue to work.
The rotor will conduct power and computer access from one part to another the advanced rotor also connects to the conveyor system.
Blocks on different sections will appear in different colors in the control panel.
This subreddit is about the video game space engineers a space themed.
An automatically rotating sun tracking solar panel tower.
The power grid gives priority to use of solar power therefore any reactors on the same ship or station can remain active but will only consume uranium once the power draw exceeds the capacity of both the solar panels and the discharging batteries.
The rotor acts as a swivel for rotating structures on stations and ships.
Solar panels output increased.

Some welding required if in survival mode.
While the resource cost for solar cells a key ingredient for the solar panel was made considerably cheaper.

Large panels from 6 kw to 120 kw small panels from 1 5 kw to 30 kw.
Today i set up something i should ve done a long time ago.
Space engineers script to rotate a main solar panel to check for the rotation of the sun.
