Description
Solar Collectors are the least cost-efficient of the energy structures, but they are also the most reliable and sturdy. When attacked, Solar Collectors (solars ) will curl up into an armored form for 8 seconds, reducing incoming damage and offering excellent protection against raiders.
Tactics and Strategy
Solar Collectors are a safe and stable source of Energy in the early game. Build chains of solars between your mexes to set up Overdrive.
The Wind/Tidal Generator can be better than the Solar Collector in terms of power produced (see http://zero-k.info/Forum/Post/220234#220234 for the math), though the Solar Collector is far sturdier and can take far more punishment.
