I am currently stumped as to why my accumulators will not charge. I also put a single solar panel and a single accumulator with an electric pole to test and it worked so I do not know why the array isn't charging. The picture doesn't show the need power for the accumulators for some reason. Any way it could be a glitch?

Edit: it seems to be a glitch because during the night when my solar panels don't produce I'm still getting power from an "unknown source" assuming its the accumulators.

You seem to consume 100% of the production of your solar panels. So there is nothing left to charge accumulators.
[Edit] : Too fast

you are using 100% of your production. to charge them you need more power output.
the production bar needs to have some black on it.

[edit] too slow.

I see you are using creative mode, do you have any of those electric void devices used to stress test electric networks?

I say this as I see 162MW of power produced, but nowhere near that being consumed, so those accumulators should be charging quite nicely.

in creative mode the voids show in consumption.
