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.
    • This can be seen most clearly in the Calico Desert, where there is never rain even if there is rain in the rest of Stardew Valley. As such, solar panels placed in the Desert will always produce a battery pack every 7 days.
