What it is

from pneumaticcraft’s own guide

The Solar Compressor/$ generates compressed air/$ and heat/$ from sunlight/$. To function, it requires a clear view of direct sunlight. This means it is unable to function inside, during the night, or during storms. While the Solar Compressor/$ generates compressed air, it also generates heat proportional to how much compressed air is generated. Proper heat management is necessary to reach the full potential of the Solar Compressor/$: too little heat and the compressor will barely generate any compressed air, too much heat and the compressor will overheat and breakdown, requiring manual repairs with Solar Cells/$. Heat Sinks/$, Heat Pipes/$, and Air Grates Modules/$ are the best tools to manage and remove the heat generated by the Solar Compressor/$. Vortex Tubes/$ are also useful for heat management, as they can be used to generate additional heat to reach max efficiency. With the right setup, even max speed/$ Solar Compressors/$ can reach a heat equilibrium at max efficiency. The compressor has built-in thermal padding that activates whenever it is unable to generate compressed air, preventing it from gaining or losing any heat while inactive. The compressor reaches max efficiency at 350°C/$, and overheats at 425°C/$.
