Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Large Solar Panel, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Normal Crate | 1.6% | 1 to 2 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 1.6% | 1 to 2 |
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
What the Large Solar Panel gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 3 + 75% High Quality Metal, 75% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 3 High Quality Metal, 60% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler | 50% | 2 + 50% High Quality Metal, 50% Tech Trash |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 2 High Quality Metal, 40% Tech Trash |
The Large Solar Panel breaks down into High Quality Metal and Tech Trash.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 3 goes through in 3 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Large Solar Panel is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #2090395347, console shortname electric.solarpanel.large). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A solar panel which converts sunlight into energy. The amount of energy generated is dependent on the sun's intensity and angle to the panel.
Crafting Large Solar Panel in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 30 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When choosing between Large Solar Panel and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 105-scrap tech tree path and save 75 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large Solar Panel | Electrical | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 105 path | Not recyclable |
| Smart Switch | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 15 node / 285 path | Not recyclable |
| Storage Monitor | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 300 path | Not recyclable |
| Industrial Crafter | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 390 path | Not recyclable |

To compare Large Solar Panel against every item in its inventory category, browse All 83 items in Electrical, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Engineering Workbench tech tree, tile by tile.
The Large Solar Panel has 100 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 2090395347 across 83 electrical and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The Large Solar Panel is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 5 High Quality Metal and 1 Tech Trash, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Tech Trash must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Large Solar Panel drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Normal Crate (1.6% chance), Wagon Normal Crate (1.6% chance), and Sunken Chest (1.1% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Large Solar Panel recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 2 High Quality Metal plus a 50% chance of one more and a 50% chance of a Tech Trash. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 2090395347 across 83 electrical.
The Large Solar Panel takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Electrical catalog with item ID 2090395347 alongside 82 related electrical and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server.
A repair bench fixes the Large Solar Panel from broken for 2 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in two swings for 4 High Quality Metal in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Blueprint progression for Large Solar Panel at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 105 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Large Solar Panel despawns after 20 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Large Solar Panel has 32-bit signed item ID 2090395347 and shortname electric.solarpanel.large in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Electrical category (stack limit 3 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Large Solar Panel in the F1 developer console with inventory.give electric.solarpanel.large 3 or inventory.giveid 2090395347 3 for 3 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
