How is this whole thing being started?
As long as you have surplus electricity, it will automatically run, right?
This thing is a battery — it stores the extra electricity you usually generate, and supplies the missing power when solar generation dips.
You can check surplus electricity in the power interface of the game. The green line represents production, and the red line represents consumption. If the two lines are equal, it means you don’t have any surplus electricity. Generally, when large-scale solar power is the main source, production is higher than consumption under normal conditions, but during rainy days consumption exceeds production, leading to a power shortage. That’s why batteries are needed. If you don’t rely heavily on solar power, this thing is basically useless for you.
