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.
Optimal solar panel setup factorio.
Let s say that our factory is using an average power p and that we want to power it only with solar panels and accumulators.
Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri.
That is why that electrical grid uses 8 solar panels and 6 accumulators.
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.
Side effect if 3 solar panels 1 accumulator can cover whole outpost needs works with angels and bob s mods should work with xander mod omnizelos mod s pyanodons mod s as well.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Find blueprints for the video game factorio.
Perfectly work for covering the laser turrets spikes now.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Using n s 8 in the second equation n a is calculated at 5 62 which rounds up to 6.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
I suppose you could try to make a new ideal setup to use fewer substations but i don t think it s worth it to save the cost of a substation or two.
Search the tags for mining smelting and advanced production blueprints.
For a radar n s is calculated at 7 14 which rounds up to 8.
You can always sacrifice a bit of the optimal ratio for a cleaner design but you should stay in the area of 0 8 0 9.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
I stand by what i said in the previous post.
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.
Since solar panel are the only outpur of electricity they need to generate during a whole day enough energy e sol to provide an average power p during this time.
And there you go an optimal real system of solar panels and accumulators for any network.
