Solar Panel Block Handler

This Block Handler handles Solar Panels. It can be used to turn on/off the Solar Panel and get information about its energy output

• Block Type Keywords: solar

While there is no Block Type Group word for Soloar Panels, the keyword “panels” implies you are referring to a group. So the following will turn on all Solar Panels in the “My Solar Panels” group.

turn on "My Solar Panels" 

Default Primitive Properties:

• Bool - Enabled

“Enabled” Property

• Primitive Type: Bool
• Keywords: enable, enabled
• Inverse Keywords: disable, disabled

Enables or Disables the given block

#Enable Block
enable "My Solar Panel"
set "My Solar Panel" to enabled
turn on "My Solar Panel"

#Disable Block
disable "My Solar Panel"
set "My Solar Panel" to disabled
turn off "My Solar Panel"

“Power” Property

• Primitive Type: Bool
• Keywords: power, powered

Turns on or off power to the block. Effectively the same as the Enabled property.

#Turn on

power on "My Solar Panel"

#Turn off
turn off "My Solar Panel"
power off "My Solar Panel"

“Output” Property

• Read-only
• Primitive Type: Numeric
• Keywords: output, outputs

Gets the current energy output, in MW.

Print "Energy Output: " + "My Solar Panel" output

“Limit” Property

• Read-only
• Primitive Type: Numeric
• Keywords: limit, limits

Gets the maximum energy output the solar is capable of, in MW.

Print "Maximum Output: " + "My Solar Panel" limit

“Ratio” Property

• Read-only
• Primitive Type: Numeric
• Keywords: ratio, ratios, percent, percents, percentage, percentages

Returns a value between 0 - 1 representing the current output over the maximum output.

Print "Output Ratio: " + "My Solar Panel" ratio
