It is a dumb mechanism though, especially considering the "shadow effect" on real life solar arrays that destroys efficiency when partially shaded, a solar panel at very least should have the peak power calculated per tile, i.e. instead of summing the total power produced then capping it to 380 watts, instead cap the power per tile to (380/7) watts and sum the result.
