[[File:solar_assembly.png]][[File:solar_panel.png]][[File:solar_tracker.png]] Solar Panels and Trackers
{| style=" Place the solar assembly on where you want to construct your solar panel/tracker. To connect it to a wire you must construct it under a wire node. Wrench the solar assembly into place. Add the electronics if you want to create a solar tracker (OPTIONAL) Finish the construction by placing glass, or reinforced glass, into the assembly frame.

Floors
{| style=" For all floors, use a crowbar on a floor tile to remove it

If you're working on a light floor, you can further dismantle the light floor tile: Use a crowbar on the light tile to remove the metal Use wirecutters on the resulting tile to separate wires from glass

Walls
{| style=" Weld off the plating Wrench the girders apart (Alternately, you can use a Crowbar to dislodge the girders and drag them out of the way)

Reinforced walls
{| style=" Wirecutters. Screwdriver. Welder. Crowbar. Wrench. Welder. Crowbar. Screwdriver. Wirecutters. Wrench.

Grille
Use wirecutters twice to destroy the grille OR Use screwdriver to unfasten it

First method destroys it, giving two sets of metal rods. Wirecutters will remove it instantly, attacking the grill will instead kick it, requiring a good few kicks. Second loosens the grille, allowing it to be pulled around. Destroying the grill in this method will leave behind a still-secured section of broken grill which may be walked over but is not aesthetically pleasing. Wirecutters will not instantly remove this remnant. However, using a lit welder will destroy it instantly.

Glass panels
Lots of Welder usage to destroy it or Screwdriver to detach it from its sockets

Reinforced glass panels
{| style=" Screwdriver to loosen the pane. Crowbar to pop it out. Screwdriver to unscrew the frame.

Crowbar to pop the pane in. Screwdriver to secure it.

Hitting the pane repeatedly with a blunt item or welder will smash it into one set of metal rods and a glass shard.

Hidden Door (Regular or Reinforced)
{| style=" Screwdriver Welder Wrench

Table
{| style=" Wrench to disassemble the table.

Reinforced Table
{| style=" Welder to weaken the table. Wrench to disassemble it.

APC
{| style=" Swipe Card to unlock APC. Remove Power Cell. Screwdriver to unsecure electronics. Crowbar to lift floor tile in front of APC Wirecutters to remove cables. Crowbar to remove Power Control Board. Welder to remover from wall. Wrenching the frame that is now detached from the wall de-constructs it to two metal sheets.

Air Alarm
{| style="Open cover with screwdriver. Cut all the wires using wirecutters. Cut the remaining wires by clicking on the airalarm with wirecutters. Pry out the circuit using the crowbar. Remove the frame from the wall using the wrench.

Fire Alarm
{| style="Open cover with screwdriver. Cut the wires by clicking on the firealarm with wirecutters. Pry out the circuit using the crowbar. Remove the frame from the wall using the wrench.

Airlock
{| style=" Screwdriver the door. Use multitool and wirecutters to disable everything except the doorbolts as detailed here. Doorbolts must be up for this to work. Weld the door shut. Crowbar the electronics out. Wirecut the wires out. Unsecure it with a wrench. Weld it to deconstruct to metal plates.

Cannot be done to an emagged airlock. RCD deconstruction must be used for that. It is possible to build a new airlock over the emagged one.

Computers
{| style=" Screwdriver to detach the screen. Crowbar to pry off the screen. Wirecutters to cut the cables. Screwdriver to detach the circuit lid. Crowbar to pry out the circuit. Wrench to detach the frame. Welder to disassemble the frame.

Returns all components used in construction.
