	~~== Setting up ==~~		On most away sites, an SMES to take in power from the solars and a solar control console will typically already be set up. This guide is going to assume you are assembling everything from scratch. This guide also assumes you understand the basics of construction and wiring.

While solar arrays provide reliable power source, without active shields they may be easily damaged by meteors, space dust, or [[Traitor\|other dangers]]. This section will explain how to repair the array.

	~~=== Wiring Damage ===~~
	~~This problem may be easily fixed by replacing damaged/missing wiring.~~

	~~=== Solar Panel(s) Damage ===~~
	Each solar panel is covered by double glass sheet. If this sheet was damaged it has to be replaced. Crowbar the broken glass out and replace it. If the panel was completely destroyed obtain replacement solar panel assembly. Few assemblies should be in Engineering Storage, alternatively contact [[Job Guides#Supply\|Cargo]] department to order more. Wrench the assembly in place and add protective glass sheets.

	~~=== Solar Tracker Damage ===~~		* '''Wiring damage:''' Easily fixed by replacing damaged/missing wiring.
	Solar tracker is special piece of machinery which ensures the solar array is properly aligned. If it's destroyed it has to be replaced~~. Obtain~~ new ~~solar panel assembly, wrench it in place and then insert solar tracker circuit board~~. ~~Then add two glass sheets and your new tracker is finished.<br>~~		* '''Panel damage:''' Each solar panel is covered by double glass sheet. If this sheet is damaged, it has to be replaced. Use a crowbar to remove the glass, and replace it. If the panel was completely destroyed, you'll need a replacement solar panel assembly. You can order more from Operations.
	''~~Please note that it~~ is not recommended to have more than one tracker for each solar array.''		* '''Solar tracker damage:''' The solar tracker is special piece of machinery which ensures the solar array is properly aligned. If it's destroyed, it has to be replaced; see above for instructions on how to make a new one. ''It is not recommended to have more than one tracker for each solar array.''
			* '''SMES damage:''' SMES units are quite simple to replace, with the only expensive component being magnetic coils for their power storage. Most of the time, more coils can be found in [[Engineering]] storage, or ordered from Operations.

	~~=== SMES Damage ===~~
	~~SMES units are very expensive to replace. For more information on this complex piece of machinery refer to SMES Manual and [[Station_Engineer#Setting_up_RCON\|here]].<br>~~
	Please note that solar arrays should '''NEVER''' be wired into the main grid. If there are two or more arrays in same grid, controllers conflict which usually results in both arrays ceasing to function. If you want the array to output all available power to the grid directly, set SMES output to maximum.		Please note that solar arrays should '''NEVER''' be wired into the main grid.
