The solar heater uses magnified sunlight taken in from above to generate heat, which it then can distribute to other adjacent machinery.
The amount of sunlight it is receiving is displayed as "Sunlight: X%", as a percentage of its maximum potential.
The type of light the solar heater takes in is very important, as firelight or artificial light will "dilute" sunlight and not provide the level of heat necessary. The amount of interference the heater is getting in its sunlight collection will be displayed as "Interference: X%", thus letting you know that it is not currently heating at an optimum level due to nearby light sources.
This includes other machinery that lights up when active, so it may not be possible to get 100% efficiency from a Solar Heater attached to a machine that runs constantly.
