The High Voltage Solar Array is the third and topmost tier of solar arrays added by Compact Solars. It is made using 8 Medium Voltage Solar Arrays, which each require 8 Low Voltage Solar Arrays, which each require 8 Solar Panels, bringing the total up to 512 Solar Panels in total plus a stack of Low Voltage Transformers, 8 Medium Voltage Transformers and a single High Voltage Transformer, making it a very expensive and resource-intensive item to create just one. The iron necessary for the generators alone would amount to 32 MACERATED stacks of Iron Ore. If GregTech is installed, many stacks of Silicon Cells and possibly an Industrial Blast Furnace are also necessary. Supposing you're using the sand recipe, it would cost 512 stacks of sand, needing over 100 millions EU to be transformed into silicon.
The High Voltage Solar Array generates and outputs in packets of 512 EU/t. Due to its high output, it requires Glass Fibre Cable or HV Cable to connect it to a power storage unit. The High Voltage Solar Array is made from 512 Solar Panels, each producing 1 EU/t, so the Solar Array does not serve to generate more power, but merely to generate the same amount of power in a smaller and more compact space.
