Can very be used for tracking on one axis, I have put these on rotor heads for them to pivot... works nice if only on one axis....

Those numbers for large grid. For small grid 1 of each material except Solar cells (4 instead of 2) and Steel plates (same as large grid, 4).

Max power peaked at 162Kw before I knocked it over on accident :(
panel size is about the same as 1 square block.

Hope that helps!

Did a quick test since some were wondering(as was I),

Building components: 2 each of the following: Bulletproof glass, Solar cells, Girders, Computers.
4 each of Contruction components and steel plates.

Max power output I was able to get was 226.21Kw. Standard panel is still 120Kw I believe. The power buildup was very quick facing the rising sun, slowly drops after that. They are also very small, about 2 camera blocks wide and tall.

They work pretty well if built facing the rising and setting sun. Superior to standard panels IMO for a 1 block sized panel

Some save games take too long to load for players to check it for every block they download. In the interest of time and how we use it on our games, i think it's imperative to make that information available on the mod page - i'd download it, but i have no information about it except:
Small and big blocks, which i can see in the pics, colorable, which is good to know, ready for survival, which is good to know as well. But i see no information about the main stuff - energy output, building characteristics, etc.

what are the stats of this block? how much output, does it always output that when it sees the sun and what are the costs of this block? looks pretty nice but without the stats here i dont see the need of subscribing it
