	The 150 MW is not the cap on the collector's power output. Collectors don't have a cap on power output, similar to how personal batteries don't have a cap on power output. They will satisfy all demand that exists, so long as they have enough energy storage to do so. 150 MW is something else; it's power lost while the collector is holding a charge. Basically, every tick, 2.5 MJ of energy is removed from the collector as lost energy. There isn't a good field in the infobox for this information.

	[[User:Dalestan]], hey you removed the power output from the infobox earlier. I understand they don't generate energy out of nothing, but their output is still capped in the same way that [[Accumulator\|Accumulators]] are capped?
