Agustin, the solar panels are not powering the combustion engines. Rather, the combustion engines is only transferring the power it's getting from the energy link. It doesn't produce any power on its own in that setup.

The solar panel powers the mfsu, which powers the energy link. The energy link converts the power to MJ, which is buildcraft power. The combustion engine now is transferring that power through itself like a conductive pipe.

The name of this is called daisy chaining. Read about it in the second paragraph in http://tekkitclassic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Engines

Oh and, far as why the engines aren't working, it's because you need to remove the energy link between the teleporter pipe and engine. Energy links for for converting EU to MJ only. Thank you for explaining all this... but the engine still not working without the energy link (config: power teleport pipe -> gold pipe -> combustion engine -> wooden pipe // also try it with: power teleport pipe -> wooden pipe -> combustion engine -> wooden pipe // and: power teleport pipe -> gold pipe -> wooden pipe -> combustion engine -> wooden pipe)

Can you explain the correct configuration Patric?

Thanks a lot!
