Overview
The Solar Array is an infrastructure building of the Modern Era that holds the city together: it provides the services, storage, defence, or power that let everything around it run.
As a Infrastructure structure, the Solar Array belongs to the infrastructure side of the city. Introduced in the Modern Era, the age of glass and the wired grid.
Gameplay
Build cost. Raising the Solar Array costs 1 Gold. Plan the spend against your current stockpiles before you commit the plot.
Footprint. It occupies a 3x2 plot, so leave room on the map before you place it.
Height. The Solar Array is a single-floor building, which keeps its layout simple but makes the surrounding road and service network carry more of the planning weight.
Output. Once built it produces 1 Happiness and 90 Energy each turn, feeding Energy and Happiness into your economy.
Upkeep. It draws 4 Gold in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.
