Multiple colony management ?

Thank you pdxsean, I am going to try this out!

I don't mean to derail this thread but...

So I can connect a single solar panel to a single sun lamp, and my lamp will remain operational during sunlight hours? I'm assuming during an eclipse they would power off too. What about volcanic winter and/or nuclear fallout? Will they operate at full power during the daytime during those conditions?

It would be awesome to be able to operate my sun lamps in my greenhouse off the main power grid.

I usually do two solar panels per lamp, just for redundancies sake. This actually provides slightly more light than the sun itself. I like to do two in case a panel breaks down, and two panels provide enough power during a volcanic winter.

Here's a screenshot of a couple of greenhouses from a recent colony. The heat is on the main power, lights on the unique networks.

That's a sexy base you got there
