Factorio Portable Solar Panel Not Working

Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton even with a large number of batteries.

Factorio portable solar panel not working.

This is the first time i have used the portable solar panels but since the cost of the fusion reactor went up i decided to utilize it. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. As the title says i know the output of the panels should be more than the consumption of equipment but i only have one thing in there and its fully charged yet the one battery will not charge up.

In general this is a technique which works well when you ve just researched accumulators and solar panels but don t have enough resources to build big solar farms and accumulator farms yet. Designed for schall recharging weapon mod or as backup power to equipment.

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.

Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron they provide only a small amount of power and only during the daytime. Now connectible to the circuit network. Portable solar panel research from official factorio wiki. Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator.
