Factorio Solar Panel Farm

Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.

Factorio solar panel farm.

You should never run into issues. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. This tutorial covers solar panel arrangements to use at various stages of the game including the building of the massive ratio perfect array from this foru. 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.

3 new steam turbines for mid game. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Find blueprints for the video game factorio. When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.

4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125. 1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages. Now connectible to the circuit network.

3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game. 3 heat storages based on molten salt technology. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. I like to go for a 1 1 ratio of accumulators to solar panels.

This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18. Used to have a 50x50 design that had 166 of each and just recently switched to this 48x48 design. Search the tags for mining smelting and advanced production blueprints. Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator.

As for which to actually pick i d say it s up to your preference cilya s design with accumulators instead of a roboport is the only one with perfect 0 86 ratio among popular designs used by factorio players. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
