Factorio solar panel accumulator layout.

Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw. 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. When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this. After the initial production to catch up with surpass steam i just limit production via logistics network to 10mw of additional capacity and stamp down more solar panel field blueprints as needed.

Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Now connectible to the circuit network. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.

Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels. This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.

For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125. Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator. 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.

There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in order to get the coverage needed to deal with blueprints from map mode. This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.

I only bother with 2 solar panel 2 accumulator assemblers and that s probably overkill. In general this is a technique which works well when you ve just researched accumulators and solar panels but don t have enough resources to build big solar farms and accumulator farms yet. 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. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
