Factorio Solar Panel Ratio Blueprint

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.

Factorio solar panel ratio blueprint.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. 60kw max 42kw average per solar panel ratio of 70 usable to total 10mw worth of solar panels will power a factory of 7mw. Optimal ratio 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. I like to go for a 1 1 ratio of accumulators to solar panels.

373 309 9 444 309 4 115248 137200 0 84. Used to have a 50x50 design that had 166 of each and just recently switched to this 48x48 design. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. You should never run into issues.

Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw. 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. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel. This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.

So if you stamp down 309 copies of the blueprint at the top and replace one of the 3x3 squares of accumulators with panels you will have a perfect ratio lets check by doing the math. During the day excess power generated is stored in accumulators during the night accumulators release their charge to power your factory. 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. Fairly large amount of solar panels 137 200 but not for megabase sort of scales.
