Actually it's vice versa. Supplies are distributed first and after that supplies from solar panels are added.
Are you sure ? It would mean that in a fleet with ships not fully full yet, ship with with solar panels will have more supply. AFAIK, that's not the case, ships have same supplies in this scenario. I might be wrong of course.

Re: Repair ships, supply ships, n\' such
Quite simply what I have discovered is to agressively research Resupply and Stellar Harnessing as quickly as possible to attain mobility. While impatiently waiting for Quantum tech, I will apply a few upgrades (Solar) to existing ship types to gain range and stamina in active combat sectors, but, if I've got a few fleets hanging out in Cretirk "just in case," I'll let them sit and wait for a "Tanker."
My Tanker is a destroyer chasis with 6 of my latest engines, my latest Mstr.Computer, and a Quantum Reactor. When this inexpensive ship is attached to an obsolete fleet of 18 Missile Cruisers I saw no reason to scrap, it refuels the whole lot every turn to max. As new ship types are developed with high-usage components (like Cloaking) I will fit each ship with its own Reactor.
The Tanker is a good transitional vessel for the aging Fwandreian Interceptors who have been staving off the Drushocka since 2102.6.

Re: Repair ships, supply ships, n\' such
I've deployed a similar strategy when using a fleet. If I don't have a quantum reactor yet, I'll get hte biggest hull I have and put in solar collectors and supply and send that out.

Yes I'm quite sure. Ships with solar panels have more supply than others even if they are in the same fleet.

Yes, just check each ship individually and you will see the differences. They would all be the same (or maxed out) if it was collect supplies then share.
