Description

Describe the bug

Solar cells are 0.25L and 19" long (i.e. half a meter). This makes them approximately 2.2 cm wide by 2.2 cm high.

Seems implausible.

The value is because they inherit from solar panels, and don't specify a longest_side.

Research direction
Find the JSON definition for solar panels and solar cells. Notice that solar cells inherit from panels and lack a longest side value. Add an appropriate longest side (and maybe width/height) to the solar cell item. Verify in game that dimensions are realistic.
