From what i can remember you can albeit a little slow without enough power to run it to full capacity.
Tekkit solar panel not powering quarry.
It performed that necessary conversion from eu to mj.
The solar panels you re using produce eu industrial craft energy units but what the quarry needs is mj buildcraft minecraft joule.
The quarry will run at any time it has power running into it.
The items and stuff.
The solar panels will only work during the day so be careful.
It is far superior to the bc quarry as well as other quarry type.
Like if this helped you levae a comment for more.
This video teaches you how to make a completely self sufficient solar powered quarry in feed the beast a technical minecraft modpack sort of like tekkit technic pack.
There is another block that does this though.
The electrical engine is part of the forestry mod which is no longer part of tekkit for some reason or another.
Redstone engines are rather slow and with combustion engines there is a good chance you quarry will explode.
Powering the quarry edit.
I recommend moving over to mekanism for the digital miner.
Using an energy link early in the game with a geothermal generator next to the energy link is a good idea.
It can be powered with any type of buildcraft energy directly with either engines or through conductive pipes.
The solar panel is a variant of renewable power generators that utilizes the energy of the sun to generate eu this means that they cannot work during the night during rainstorms underground underwater in the nether or the end.
However transparent blocks such as glass blocks or panes allow sunlight to pass through hence still allowing the panel to produce power.
I m not a tekkit player anymore nor do i play ftb as i have been running a custom pack that includes 1 7 10 mods.
Natively the quarry only accepts buildcraft s mj power however through the use of a converter industrial craft 2 s eu or redpower 2 s blutricity may be used.
Hey everyone pixelsee here.
When using eu to power a quarry an energy link is the best option.
The peak quarry energy input is about 92 mj t full.
