Field guide

● DC string / feeder● Medium-voltage phases● Auxiliary AC● Heat pipe
  1. Wire a PV string. Place 12–24 modules. Use DC cable and click successive modules in series, upstream to downstream. Connect the last module to a DC combiner. Use the same string length on each combiner and at a shared inverter input.
  2. Protect and export. Each combiner takes 10 strings with separate monitored fuses and an output switch. Connect up to five combiners to the inverter. Select the transformation centre to install its inverter, low-voltage protection box and transformer. Run phases A, B and C individually through matching cells to the matching grid connectors.
  3. Add storage. A battery includes a bidirectional PCS and step-up transformer. Connect it to the main network through its own medium-voltage protection centre. It charges from solar surplus and can support the site or export at night.
  4. Operate the site. Right-click a deposit with a worker selected to recover materials. Build and cable a worker factory to grow the fleet. At 22% the tracked worker seeks a powered pad or parks and uses its roof panel to recharge. Select a structure and choose Demolish with worker to clear its footprint.
  5. Build a thermal circuit. Pipe flat-plate collectors to a heat store. Pipe troughs and towers to a turbine, then use an auxiliary AC cable to connect the turbine to the operations hub.

Left-click to select or build. Right-drag to pan or middle-drag to rotate. Use Hide walls in the top header to expose equipment across the site. Scroll to zoom. Click the minimap to jump. Esc clears the current tool. Space pauses.
