I m very new here and i just discovered that you only need a few solar panels to fully charge a huge network of accumulators.
Factorio solar panel arrya.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
Join me as i explore 0 17 and try to transition from a single rocket base into a megabase.
Welcome to a vanilla factorio 0 17.
I gave it a shot it isn t perfectly symmetrical but it has a ratio of 0 82.
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.
When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
It is tileable and if you use 4 of them it makes some interesting designs.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Spaghetti might happen i was asked to link to the solar.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Mk1 a mark one is just a bunch of poles with y know solar panels mixed in madzuri nov 2016 mk2 focuses on ratios mk3 uses roboports to construct the tile mk4 uses a diagonal spacing to reduce roboports and ups mk5 makes use of most if not all of the radar range.
2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.
