Auto solar panel : r/Stationeers
As others have said, you need to use logic chips. Check the unnofficial wikki Solar Logic Circuits Guide.The simplest is the: "4-chip 1-sensor 1-axis Approximate Solar Tracking" which is appropriate for the moon and space as
Dual-Axis Solar Tracking with Rest-At-Night and Maintenance Mode
* Scans network for all tracking capable solar panels! * Fully compatible with mirrored solar panels! * Plug-n-play configure-less operation! * Rest-at-night so your panels are always ready to generate power in the morning! * Maintenance mode! * Color coded power and efficiency display outputs! * Readable state for expandable automation!

Solar Panel
Kit (Solar Panel Basic Heavy) don''t have logic inputs. Kit (Solar Panel Heavy) have logic inputs. Positioning . Pay close attention to the positioning of your solar panel since their automation will depend heavily on it. Most user-made scripts and guides orient the panels with the data port facing sunset and the power port facing sunrise. Notes
Solar Tracking : r/Stationeers
A quick FYI too is the orientation you place the sensor (on the ground/wall, facing north/east/south/west and which direction it''s connection faces) will give you different readings. Same with the solar panels themselves depending on the orientation of their connection means it will move differently.

Automatic Solar Panel in MOON : r/Stationeers
For 2-axis (all you need on moon) you just put a sensor vertically, facing sunrise, rotate panels to the same direction, and use 1 logic reader and 1 batch writer. Since the update, input vertical angle for solars is in degrees, not percents as
Solar Panel Setup :: Stationeers General Discussions
Thats the setup i use, super easy to build and any new solar panels just needs to hooked up by cable and it will automatically start tracking. I have 17 solar panelts going right now all running off of those 4 chips, i just hooked up 6 more panels in maybe 5 mins and thats including having to go back and build a few more cable coils.
