Factorio Best Solar Panel Layout

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.

Factorio best solar panel layout.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. 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. Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.

There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in. I leave a space to walk between. You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. 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. Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.

Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else. This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism. Original poster 1 point 2 years ago. So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently.

I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar. This is a 25 21 0 84 ratio solar panel accumulator layout that i came up with and i didn t see it posted anywhere so i wanted to share it with the community. For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators. Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
