Factorio Solar Panel Ratio Blueprint

There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.

Factorio solar panel ratio blueprint.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. I like to go for a 1 1 ratio of accumulators to solar panels. During the day excess power generated is stored in accumulators during the night accumulators release their charge to power your factory.

This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels. Solar panels only provide energy during the day. Accumulators can store output energy 5 times faster than solar panels can supply so if you ve got about three times more solar panels than you need energy. 373 309 9 444 309 4 115248 137200 0 84.

So if you stamp down 309 copies of the blueprint at the top and replace one of the 3x3 squares of accumulators with panels you will have a perfect ratio lets check by doing the math. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel. Optimal ratio 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.

Fairly large amount of solar panels 137 200 but not for megabase sort of scales. You should never run into issues. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
