XPAR Elegant Solar

Description
(Sounds like Keen changed something again and the mod is broken again.)

Solar panels both larger and smaller than vanilla. Balanced, survival-ready. Lighter than vanilla panels because vanilla panels are oddly heavy.

Use a variety of 1x1x3 panels for both large and small ships, perfect for both inline hull panels and for extending into solar wings! Includes several slanted panels, ideal for use on space stations since they can be pointed at the sun without rotors.

Two massive concentrators with a slightly higher efficiency than standard panels.

The slim panels are quite low-poly and low-profile, and are not going to tax your computer. The concentrators are a bit more substantial.

Please note that DX11 PBR materials do not allow for that really neat "glow", at least not as implemented right now. Therefore, in DX11, the solar concentrators are dark mirrors instead of bright reflectors.

After reading some of the comments, I take it that you have given everyone permission to alter and repair this mod? With that in mind, I'll go ahead with what I had asked and be sure to credit you until such time that you contact me and notify me that you would like me to take it down. Hope you return to SE one day, I'm curious to see where you would have gone with modding. Cheers.

@Craig P Hi, I really like the solar collectors you made. I was wondering if you would give me permission to modify the mod to have just the collectors. I don't know enough about modding to fix the mod, but would like to have the collectors as decorative parts without all the warnings SE is currently giving with the other blocks in the pack. Thanks

Hi Craig P, I love your mod solar panels. Could you fix the mid so the color stop changing to pink in direct sun light (last update got that messed up). Also could you make a thin cylinder panel armor to incase the atmospheric thrusters? Even in 2 pieces as half cylinder would be nice, something like this: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/769400622907341618/8F241F7FC81B2AB7D954FBABE24D4F8A65E870DE/
