[Guide] Building O- and U-panels
Here is a small guide with pictures how to build O- and U-panels:

Step 1 / 4:
Construct the grid between the rotors, but leave two blocks of space.

Step 2 / 4:
Mark both rotors and put the displacement to minimum.

Step 3 / 4:
Place two merge blocks like in the picture. In creative you may have to set ownership.

Step 4 / 4:
Mark both rotors and increase displacement slowly (!) until the blocks merge.

Merge block don't work (tried it moment ago, dev version). Found this way (for doors but work without problems for this also).
Build both rotors, but grind off the Rotor Part on one side. Then build the door. Finally place a Rotor Part on the door so that it sticks inside the 2nd Rotor and it'll snap together just fine (hit attach button)

use the "Door - mehtod" and my station went ----whriooooommm cause its now a ship.

Use a merge block with a Piston isntead lift it up, add mergeblcok, lift it down, after merging remove piston for armor blocks.

For those who have a connection problem.
You have to use advanced rotor, regular rotors is a bit bigger, so you can't add second merge block.

Merge blocks works for me, foun out you must NOT complete a block before the both have been placed.. but i have issues in my Upannel. the bottom/main Rotor wont move, script says it is "set to 0"
the other rotors work fine the up and down turning ones. any ideas?

I can confirm there is something wrong with the maximum output of solar panels the script gets.
Until I upload a new version you can quickfix it by setting MINRELATIVEOUTPUT = 1.98f.
