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.
    • While it is often assumed that the best place to put them is the Calico Desert where it never rains, that lack of rain is purely visual. The desert experiences the same underlying weather and seasons as the rest of the mainland, and any rainy days in the valley also delay battery production from Solar Panels in the Desert.
