Simple power generation question

Dark Ariel7 · Aug 9th 2014

How much Eu per tick should 7 wind turbines and 5 solar panels be generating? The set up is at layer ~110 not counting obstruction. I attached a photo with my setup. Its not super efficient but it should be getting me more than 20 Eu/t during the day right? It can barely keep my heated up induction furnace heated and wash ores at the same time. Is there something wrong?

Your windmills are too low. They generate good amounts of energy at Y ~150 [+1 for every obstruction in the way] (but don't go over or they will occasionally break due high wind speeds)

The solar panels will give 1 EU/t as long it can see the daylight.

after doing the math it seems that I am only making about .8 Eu/t on average. Is that right? Because if so. I really need to get these things much higher. I would be ok witho about 2 or so Eu/t but .8 is ridiculous. Makes the solar a much better option.

Windmills can go up to 5 EU/t, where you get an average of 1.5-2 when at optimized heights (150ish, 181 if you use my tower design)
