Solar Panel Power System

Description
Tested with DayZ v1.22

Even after the apocalypse, doing your part to protect the environment is still important. Now instead of having to rely on a noisy, smoky, petrol guzzling generator get yourself a RedFalcon Solar Panel Power System and enjoy free electricity from the sun!. The system can be purchased as a boxed kit from your local trader and set up at your base (as long as it has an unobstructed view of the sun or at least the sky). You'll need to install a truck battery in order for the system to provide you with 24/7 free electricity. This solar panel can accommodate up to 4 devices plugged directly into the system (or many more if you use power strips).

Note that due to the materials used in the Solar Panel Power System (concrete pad and such), once it is unpacked and deployed it can not be dismantled and redeployed. Where you set it up is for keeps unless you want to demolish the panel using a sledgehammer or pickaxe.

Items despawning in DayZ is ALWAYS related to issues with Types.xml

Actually, it keeps despawning after a few days. I have the types in my types.xml. @Red Falcon, any ideas why?

hmm, on The Labs server. Connected truck battery to solar panel. Connect cable reel to solar panel. As soon as I do this cable reel is taken out of my hands and on the ground. Pick cable reel up to move to location and it says "Plug in" or "Connect" again. Is this mod broken?

I have done all that i believe is required, added truck battery with a wire and connected, but there does not seem to be an on switch, so after connecting a cable reel and then connecting to a construction light there seems to be no power on switch to make it work. Please help as I had this mod 1 year ago on my private server and it worked perfectly. Thanks in advance:steamhappy:

Hey Red, (TL:DR - this is just a thank you)
I started playing the game about 2 months ago. I play on a private server with my cousin and we just have fun with PVE. We agreed to not use mods and enjoy the game as is, but then I saw this and it's a must have. The structure is so beautifully made and a great idea to have in the game. Thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into this.

Hi Red Falcon so I went up to purchase the models for the kit and it is not their anymore or at lease I could not find it if you would add me to steam friends I sent you a request so we can talk but if you want I can make you a nice one based off the original that you had in youre mod and that way it is yours and you control it I would be happy to make it no strings attached My only issue is I only know how to make it and texture in blender and apply the texture

Im sorry i didnt mean to offend you, i wasnt trying to carve anything out, i just would liked to of included your mod in my map with no dependencies, and obviously giving credit to you for allowing this. Thank you anyway, i shall look for an alternative :(

Sorry, if you want to do that you will need to purchase the model from the original artist (rather than carving it out of my mod)
