Factorio Solar Panel Setup

The combination of solar panels and accumulator will fully use the grid.

Factorio solar panel setup.

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. You can always sacrifice a bit of the optimal ratio for a cleaner design but you should stay in the area of 0 8 0 9. It has the nearly optimal ratio. Join me as i explore 0 17 and try to transition from a single rocket base into a megabase.

It is a seamless connection to the next part. It also contains the. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. Welcome to a vanilla factorio 0 17.

Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you. Currently i have 38000 solar panels 31000 accumulators and 1700 steam engines. My base will burn through about half of my accumulator charge when it is producing at a moderate clip. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Find blueprints for the video game factorio. Its not exact and it changes as i plop down more every so often. Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio the optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.

Oil refinery storage tanks and battery production example. Search the tags for mining smelting and advanced production blueprints. My setup uses about 75 solar panels for every accumulator. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
