Solar Panel (PvZ: TWH)


 * Not to be confused with Solar Panel.

Solar Panel is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. He is unlocked in Moist Caves. He is a variety of an attacking, sun producing, and supporting plant. When double tapped/right clicked, an icon shows up next to Solar Panel, allowing the player to choose which type they wish for Solar Panel to be.

During his attack method, the player taps Solar Panel, and plugs the cord into any tile. The cord acts like a Spikeweed. When he is in his supporting method, the player tap/clicks on Solar Panel, and then onto another plant to power the plant up. A Solar Panel cannot power up any other Solar Panels, including itself.

When powering up a plant, the plant receives +15 bites if it is defensive, +1 nds if it is offensive, and if it is a sun producer it produces one tiny sun along with its normal sun production.

Plant Food Ability
When fed Plant Food, Solar Panel gains a lot of energy. When the player taps on a plant in its supporting mode, the plant gains double the effect of what Solar Panel would normally do. When Solar Panel is in attacking mode, it will deal the same amount of damage as Spikerock instead of Spikeweed. When it is in its sun producing mode, it creates 150 sun, much like Sunflower's Plant Food ability.

Strategy
Solar Panel is a great plant when it comes to space and sun-consumption. A Sunflower and a Spikeweed together cost 150, the same as Solar Panel, who has an additional supporting ability. He also only takes up one square, as opposed to 2 or 3. Solar Panel can also be switched to the mode that fits the situation the best, such as switching into Solar mode when the player is low on sun.

However, despite these strengths, Solar Panel also suffers from a cost more than needed. If the player plants to use it only for Attacking or Solar mode, Solar Panel would cost a lot more than it should.
