In the latest Patch 03 for Sons of the Forest, Endnight Games added many new features. One of the most exciting things brought to the survival horror game was the ability to create electricity. Although you’re stuck on an island infested with cannibals, you can now find ways to light up your base using the power of the sun. But to create electricity in Sons of the Forest, you’ll need to discover how to get Solar Panels and Lightbulbs. But where are these newly-added items? Continue reading to find out.

Where to find Solar Panels and Lightbulbs in Sons of the Forest
While you can find lightbulbs randomly throughout abandoned camps, you can find some alongside one of the confirmed locations of a Solar Panel. This location is the same place you can find the 3D printer. Near the western side of the island, with a green marker on your phone map, is a cave. In this cave is an underground space with a room filled with supplies and a 3D printer.

You can find a Solar Panel and a few light bulbs in this area, as well as Wire, which is used in crafting electricity. You’re bound to find more Solar Panels throughout the island, but this location is the easiest to get. Not only that, but this room includes all the tools needed for electricity.
Another confirmed location of a Solar Panel is in the southwestern corner of the island. Using a shovel, uncover a hatch to a bunker holding another Solar Panel. One thing to note is that you can only carry one Solar Panel at a time. As soon as you find one, drop it off at your camp. Luckily, using electricity can help keep your base bright without the constant use of torches or campfires.
Sons of the Forest is available via Steam.
