1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages.
Factorio solar panel start.
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.
Every other power source requires a constant influx of resources to produce power.
0 16 0 17.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
In the perfect ratio it gives you 42kw per solar cell for 0 resources amortized over time.
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.
Solar is the ultimate in resource to power ratio.
Redid graphics and technology structure and costs.
You see with solar there is some initial investment but after that power is simply free.
To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows.
Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power output.
Includes enough solar panels and accumulators to skip steam power till you can make your own solar power.
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.
First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.
Batteries and personal solar panels.
3 heat storages based on molten salt technology.
Includes electric miners and some belts to skip past burner phase.
Which means that solar panel is effective 70 of the time or you could say that solar panel produces 42kw of power on average.
4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy.

3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game.

Based on advanced electric mod but toned down.
An easier start with solar power.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
3 new steam turbines for mid game.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
