Efficient Solar Panel Setup Factorio

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.

Efficient solar panel setup factorio.

Adds higher tiers of solar panels and accumulators. 18 days ago 0 16 1 0 37286. Currently i have 38000 solar panels 31000 accumulators and 1700 steam engines. Default production multiplier 10 100 1000.

Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Image credit u deamonengineer probably. Its not exact and it changes as i plop down more every so often.

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. My base will burn through about half of my accumulator charge when it is producing at a moderate clip. Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri. The optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Makes space efficient solar farms viable and reduces the hassle to place as many panels. 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.
