When does the Module: SolarPanel generate power

[wanglishuo]

@schaubh Hello professor, I have a question about Module: SolarPanel. My SolarPanel module has been correctly connected to the eclipse module and simpleBattery module, but why does SolarPanel not generate power when eclipse=1? What conditions are needed to make SolarPanel generate electricity? The following is a screenshot of my simulation. In the first half, SolarPanel still generates electricity, but it doesn't work in the second half. Why is this?

The solar panel normal must be facing towards to the sun, not away. Make sure the normal vector is properly defined.
