The Solar Panel is a piece of Refining Equipment that generates 1 Battery Pack the morning after 7 sunny days when placed outdoors (including the day it was placed).^[1] The player receives the recipe after completing Caroline's Special Order "Island Ingredients".

Trivia

The solar panel counts sunny days based on the location it is placed. Thus, a solar panel placed down on Ginger Island will not be affected by rain in Stardew Valley, and vice versa.
- Arguably the best location to place solar panels is the Calico Desert due to the desert having its own weather (always sunny).
