1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages.
Factorio solar panel start.
Batteries and personal solar panels.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Every other power source requires a constant influx of resources to produce power.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
An easier start with solar power.
3 new steam turbines for mid game.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.

Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron they provide only a small amount of power and only during the daytime.
4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy.
Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton even with a large number of batteries.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
You see with solar there is some initial investment but after that power is simply free.
Which means that solar panel is effective 70 of the time or you could say that solar panel produces 42kw of power on average.
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.
In the perfect ratio it gives you 42kw per solar cell for 0 resources amortized over time.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows.
3 heat storages based on molten salt technology.
First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.
Includes enough solar panels and accumulators to skip steam power till you can make your own solar power.
Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power output.
Solar is the ultimate in resource to power ratio.
Based on advanced electric mod but toned down.
