What cable is best to use for this? Wiki says that the isulated copper cables are losing almost no energy, so I think they are, but they can just handle low voltage, right? So please help me :D What cable is best for it?
@FabianK95 Yes, copper cables can only handle low-voltage. Tin cables, (a.k.a ultra-low current cables) are the best for solar flowers. They lose 1 EU every 40 blocks. The wiki says they can only handel 3 EU, and that is correct. However, they can handle any amount of EU "packets" of 1. Each solar panel outputs 1 EU "packet," so the tin cables can handle that. Essentially, tin cables are the best for solar panels.
@ryanrmc100 Yes, I used it for a project last year. I still use it every so often when I'm bored, I've moved on to greater programming languages. Scratch is still easy and fun to use though :D
@ryanrmc100 It used to be confusing to me, but I got the hang of it. If you to start learning it, a channel on youtube called "thenewboston" (without quotes) does tutorials.
What changed? I had to build those overly complex Advanced Solar Flowers back in the last version. Is wiring 'smarter' now? And the reason why you want to upshift the voltage ASAP is that at 3EU/tick and if you manage to get loss along the cable somehow, that'll take 1EU out of each tick. I found higher voltages are better at any distance, except when using glass.
@MCXone I didn't except someone to ask that. If you have enough resources, you should definitely make it. I am having problems with the EU Reader, so I can't give you a measurement.
@Minionsman Alt-253 (when typed on the numberpad with numlock on) is the typing shortcut for a superscript 2. Essentially, he was crudely telling you that you should be writing IndustrialCraft² rather than IndustrialCraft 2.
Anyway, thanks for the tutorial. Just what I needed.
Wait, from what I understand solar panels output Ultra-Low-Voltage, which can be transmitted with tin cables that only lose a EU every 40 blocks while glass fibre cables lose an EU every 20 blocks...
Remember an unlimited amount of EU "packets" can run through a cable (providing that cable can handle the packet's voltage).
@BBQTeach I'm not a pro at industrial craft, its changed a lot since i've played it a couple months ago. You could use tin cables for this, but you would get shocked multiple times when walking around the cables. I hooked up an LV Transformer to the MFE so the 128 output could power the machines, which I believe can only handle 32 EUs. But thanks for the advice.

@BBQTeach
Oh and you can hook your tin cables to either a MFU or a BatBox which will output 128 or 32 volts.
Just to clarify:
EU/t - the amount of EU per tick (1/20th of a second)
EU Voltage/ Packet Voltage AKA voltage/volts - the 'size' of the packet- machines and cables have a maximum voltage before exploding.
