This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Perfect factorio solar panel layout.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels.
Even though this substation box design is more compact and has a higher space efficiency than this perf ratio 324 design the second design makes better use of both land and resources by being in the correct 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 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.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.
However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design.
When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.
Haven t seen this design posted anywhere so here is yet another 0 15 solar panel layout this solar panel layout has a roboport only uses 4 substations has the exact 0 84 ratio 84 accumulators 100 solar panels and is symettrical.
Just add as needed for each.
Published on oct 12 2017 this factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
I leave a space to walk between.
