Factorio Optimal Solar Layout

This factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.

Factorio optimal solar layout.

Just add as needed for each. I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar. Have a browse through the images for design ideas or download the designs from the blueprint book section at the end. This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.

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. That is why that electrical grid uses 8 solar panels and 6 accumulators. 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.

Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you. For a radar n s is calculated at 7 14 which rounds up to 8. Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.

The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable. And there you go an optimal real system of solar panels and accumulators for any network.
