Learn about SimCity 2000 Solar Receivers: their low power output, environmental benefits, and best use as backup power.

Solar receivers are inexpensive to construct and have a positive environmental impact. However, they generate a small amount of power, so it is not advisable to rely on them as your city's sole power source. A significant amount of space would be required to house enough receivers to power your entire city. Furthermore, cloudy weather conditions will effectively halt their power production, plunging your Sims into darkness.

Tips
  • Use Solar Receivers primarily for backup or emergency power.
  • Be aware that cloudy weather will stop power generation.
  • Consider the large amount of space required if you plan to use them extensively.
