Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Factorio best solar panel layout.
Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.
Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software.
Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
I took to my sandbox editor and threw together a basic design checked it for ratios and found it a perfect 84 accumulators and 100 solar panels.
I leave a space to walk between.
As for which to actually pick i d say it s up to your preference cilya s design with accumulators instead of a roboport is the only one with perfect 0 86 ratio among popular designs used by factorio players.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
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.
Just add as needed for each.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.
This tutorial covers solar panel arrangements to use at various stages of the game including the building of the massive ratio perfect array from this foru.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently.
