Panel arrays with no fuel line at all — power from starlight and a steady supply of replacement circuit boards. No fuel runs to manage, but the circuit-board pipeline has to stay open.

Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedPanels track the local star without fault. No fuel to haul, no fuel to burn — just periodic circuit swaps.
StarvedHalf the array's gone dark for want of replacement boards. Output has dropped well below rated capacity.
Upgrade Chain
Stellar Collector Grid has no upgrade path — it is built once, at this level.
