Remember if you don t have enough solar panels things simply don t run as fast but if you don t have enough capacitors your entire base will shut down at night which can and will kill you in the right circumstances.
Optimal factorio solar panel layout.
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.
In this post we will go through the basics of solar panel layout to accurately determining how many panels will fit on your roof.
Original poster 1 point 2 years ago.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
We assume that your roof is like most residential roofs encountered in north america a pitched roof over plywood decking on a wood rafter truss system.
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.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
This factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.
Just add as needed for each.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
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.
Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
I leave a space to walk between.
The basics of solar panel layout.
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.
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.
