Very close to the ideal of 0 84.
Efficient solar panels factorio.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Massive fields of blue and grey squares at the fringes of your base.
Main reason i don t like solar is the amount of space it takes.
So almost 99 and an accumulator to solar panel ratio of 0 84009.
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.
At the moment i m using solar in a fuel saving capacity.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
There are 327 panels and 539 accumulators in this thing.
You can get great efficiency with solar panels and capacitors especially using roboports and blueprints.
Default production multiplier 10 100 1000.
It has a space efficiency space taken up by panels and accumulators of 0 9898.
Here s what it looks like and here s what an array of 32 of them look like together.
2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.
Adds higher tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
Makes space efficient solar farms viable and reduces the hassle to place as many panels.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Mk1 a mark one is just a bunch of poles with y know solar panels mixed in madzuri nov 2016 mk2 focuses on ratios mk3 uses roboports to construct the tile mk4 uses a diagonal spacing to reduce roboports and ups mk5 makes use of most if not all of the radar range.
If you d like i ve got a symmetrical design here i worked on awhile ago.

So if a solar panel has an efficiency rating of 15 that means 15 of the sunlight that hits the solar panels will be converted into electricity.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
For the record solar panels provide 42kw on average so you need power consumption 42kw solar panels approximately 40 extra not 100 and enough accumulators to store the excess power consumption 42kw 0 84 last edited by alexmbrennan.
It s large scale but it s a great way to ramp up your energy potential.
14 substations 373 accumulators and 444 solar panels.
Solar panel efficiency is a measure of how much sunlight that hits the surface area of a solar panel is converted into usable electricity.
I ve tried to make the most use of empty space by putting panels and accumulators everywhere.
