You're best off using Tin Cables or Glass Fibre Cables to transfer the power from the Solar Panels due to high energy loss with other cables. However, Solar Arrays can be mined safely with a pick. The safest method is using the electric wrench in "Lossless" mode (Activated by M + right click). Use a Wrench (IC 2) or Electric Wrench to remove the panel properly. This will revert the panel back to a Generator. If attempting to reclaim a Solar Panel do NOT use any type of pick, as this has adverse effects on the fragile components of the block. Total EMC value = 65,253 for 13 Solar Panels When you have a steady Energy condenser a solar flower is easier to make.
Now, solar flowers are outdated because they are very inefficient compared to solar farms with Tin Cable ( -1 EU/40 blocks), Copper Cable ( -1 EU/5 blocks) and Glass Fibre Cable ( -1 EU/40 blocks). The addition of Tin Cable, which allows voltages of 5 EU/t or less to be carried 40 blocks, has made other arrangements equally feasible. This was the most efficient design that existed in IC 1 and earlier versions of IC 2.
These constructions provide the benefit of compact and relatively cheap Solar Panel arrangements without energy losses. Due to the relative weakness of power generation, Solar Panels are often assembled into so-called Solar Flowers (when using Copper Cable), whereby as many Solar Panels as possible are connected to a power storage device (such as a BatBox) using cable lengths of four segments or less.
