Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.
Factorio best square solar panel layout.
For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design.
It has 0 84 accumulator panel ratio which is as close as you can get with a perfect square shaped design with proper power lines.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.
For several reasons.
Haven t seen this design posted anywhere so here is yet another 0 15 solar panel layout this solar panel layout has a roboport only uses 4 substations has the exact 0 84 ratio 84 accumulators 100 solar panels and is symettrical.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.
This factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
Just add as needed for each.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels.
Even though this substation box design is more compact and has a higher space efficiency than this perf ratio 324 design the second design makes better use of both land and resources by being in the correct ratio.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.
I almost always exclusively use cilya s design on all of my playthrough s and i still couldn t find a better setup for solar panels after all this time.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.
I leave a space to walk between.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in.
