Description

When in shadow, landed on Moho, (night side of Moho) solar panels are receiving "direct sunlight" and are producing energy (see screenshot).

Behaves fine in the shadow ("blocked by...") of other celestial bodies as far as I can tell.

Steps :

1 / land on Moho (solar pannels already deployed)
2 / time warp to be on night side (if not already)
3 / right clic on solar pannels to see energy flow

Actually, this is often observable at low altitude landings. Especially the zero altitude cases like Kerbin Water or Minmus Flats. Seems that there's something wrong with the formula detecting the planetary occlusion - it doesn't work below certain altitude and this altitude bigger than zero. Maybe some trigonometry issue with the formula.
