Just divide if you need a decimal.
Factorio accumulators per solar panel.
The accumulator can store up to 5 mj of energy.
How many solar panels does it take to charge an accumulator in 1 day.
Reverse operation ratio from decimal needs multiplication and reduction by the largest common divisor.
If you use the layout shown in katherine s guide and other places this utilises 180 solar panels and 151 accumulators to provide approximately 10mw per block day and night.
Build 21 accumulators for every 25 panels vs.
The accumulator stores a limited amount of energy when available production exceeds demand and releases it in the opposite case.
Its maximum charge discharge rate is 300 kw.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
8571 3 7 kw solar panels 600 mj capacity of accumulators so the result is we need 25 21 1 190476 period 6 more solar panels than accumulators.
I would like to set up a set of solar panels for use in the daytime then another set that would be used at night.
I am new to factorio.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Build 0 84 accumulators for every solar panel.
The night time set would have the accumulators.
Or we can say we need 25 solar panels per 21 accumulators.
Solar panels are producing 0 nominal power 10 of the day.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Provide power p recharge accumulators.
The ratios posted result in more solar panels then are needed to power factory and charge accumulators i had posted this in a topic on the steam forum a week ago when somebody was asking about solar panels and another person brought up the 0 8 1 ratio.
So the op post is 100 accurate.
Or we can say we need 21 25 0 84 accumulators per solar panel.
Night solar panels are producing 50 nominal power 40 of the day.
Without detailed calculations i believe that solar panels cost more than accumulators.
The correct ratio is 0 84 so 100 panels 84 accumulators will keep 24 hour supply of the appropriate power.
While the sun is out your solar panels have to output q power where q p.
How exactly do i build 0 84 accumulators.
Your solar panels have 2 functions.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 21 25 accumulators per solar panel and 23 8 solar panels per megawatt required by your factory this ratio accounts for solar panels needed to charge the accumulators this means that you need 1 428 mw of production of solar panels and 100mj of storage to provide 1 mw of power over one day night cycle.
If connected to a circuit network an accumulator will output its level of charge as an integer from 0 to 100 to a specified signal.
Since you need more you can not round down so roughly 92 or 92 accumulators per 100 solar panels 23 25 or 46 50 or inversely you get roughly 1 091325249022011 solar panels per accumulator this change means in the long run you need less solar per accumulator.
