So this is my conclusion.
Factorio green solar panels layout.
The first calculation is your accu solar ratio.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
With the world slowly moving to the much dreaded energy crisis it is important that we reduce our dependency on non renewable sources of energy.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
So i was wracking my head of some decent way to do expensive green circuits.
Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy factorio solar panel layout energy hydro energy and wind energy solutions.
Haven t seen this design posted anywhere so here is yet another 0 15 solar panel layout this solar panel layout has a roboport only uses 4 substations has the exact 0 84 ratio 84 accumulators 100 solar panels and is symettrical.
I tried direct insertion and it works but it looked meh and the layout was meh.
0 84 is the standard if you are building exactly the amount of power you need a little bit less than 0 84 means you have more solar panels which is good if you are planning to build too many of both and a little bit more than 0 84 means that you have more accumulators which is.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
Note your roboports will be closer together here which isn t necessarily a bad thing depending on your base.
The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.
Just add as needed for each.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Factorio solar panel layout what we can do.
The ratio is 1 5 so i wanted 5 input points per green assembler.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
It s early game and only t1 assemblers so not sure how it will scale lategame.
I leave a space to walk between.
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.
