Factorio Solar Panel Ratio Blueprint

Fairly large amount of solar panels 137 200 but not for megabase sort of scales.

Factorio solar panel ratio blueprint.

There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. During the day excess power generated is stored in accumulators during the night accumulators release their charge to power your factory.

Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. You should never run into issues. 373 309 9 444 309 4 115248 137200 0 84. Used to have a 50x50 design that had 166 of each and just recently switched to this 48x48 design.

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. 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. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Solar panels only provide energy during the day.

Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw. 60kw max 42kw average per solar panel ratio of 70 usable to total 10mw worth of solar panels will power a factory of 7mw. I like to go for a 1 1 ratio of accumulators to solar panels. This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
