It is a high voltage device so a glass fibre cable or hv.
Industrial craft hv solar panel.
Solar panel industrial craft contains information about the industrial craft mod.

There is an add on named advanced solar panels that introduces 3 new solar panels advanced hybrid and ultimate hybrid each an upgrade from the last.
Solar panels are a common type of eu generator used in industrialcraft 2.
Because of the low power generation you are encouraged to use ultra low current cable to wire these to whatever they are powering.
One hv solar array produces 512 eu t which is 10 240 eu second.
There is another add on called compactsolars that also introduces 3 solar arrays which are combinations of many solar panels lv 8 solars mv 64 solars hv 512 solars.
Due to its high output it requires glass fibre cable or hv cable gold cable also acceptable in industrialcraft 2 experimental to connect it to a power storage unit.
The hv high voltage solar array is an ic machine used to generate eu from the sun.
It can be used to charge any tier of energy storage unit by either connecting the two blocks by placing them directly next to each other or using one of ic2 s different cable types.
Hv cables have an extremely high distance related energy loss.
It is the equivalent of 512 solar panels 64 lv solar arrays or 8 mv solar arrays.
The high voltage solar panel is an upgraded version of the medium voltage solar panel added by industrialcraft 2 classic which produces 512 energy units per tick eu t instead of 64 eu t.
Considering that a shock from a poorly insulated hv cable will most likely prove fatal it is recommended to insulate them well unless the cable is located in a completely unreachable area.
Industrial craft 2 the solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu.
Solar panels when placed will generate 1 eu per tick when under sunlight.
If you are looking for the redpower solar panel see this page.
They require little effort to set up correctly and each one consistently provides 1 eu t on clear sunny days and as long as the more expensive gregtech 4 recipe is not enabled they re also fairly affordable.
Solar panels how to use them and some designs.
They can have 3 different levels of insulation.
