Factorio Solar Panel Production

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.

Factorio solar panel production.

1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages. It has the nearly optimal ratio. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. My searching abilities has only gotten images of actual solar farms not factories for producing these two components.

3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game. 3 new steam turbines for mid game. This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph. 3 heat storages based on molten salt technology.

Redid graphics and technology structure and costs. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. 4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy. Solar panels and accumulator combination.

Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Oil refinery storage tanks and battery production example. This is a compendium of the most common factorio facts as of v1 0 release. Designing production lines is a huge headache for me so i enjoy finding schematics of proven effective designs and building them.

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. 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. I only bother with 2 solar panel 2 accumulator assemblers and that s probably overkill. Features of this calculator include.

Huge kudos to anyone that can help me out. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. The combination of solar panels and accumulator will fully use the grid. 0 18 v1 2 2 fixed entity icon graphics v1 2 1 version change for 0 18.

Proper handling of oil products. Based on advanced electric mod but toned down. It is a seamless connection to the next part. Adds higher tiers of solar panels and accumulators.

First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first. Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators. Optimal production with my world settings would be 5 10 of both panels and accumulators.

A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources. Makes space efficient solar farms viable and reduces the hassle to place as many panels. This is only a sliver of the info available.
