This factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.
Factorio green solar panels 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.
The number of accumulators divided by the number of solar panels.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
I tried direct insertion and it works but it looked meh and the layout was meh.
Factorio solar panel layout what we can do.
The first calculation is your accu solar ratio.
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 ratio is 1 5 so i wanted 5 input points per green assembler.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
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.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.
Just add as needed for each.
Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in.
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.
So this is my conclusion.
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.
It s early game and only t1 assemblers so not sure how it will scale lategame.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
So i was wracking my head of some decent way to do expensive green circuits.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy factorio solar panel layout energy hydro energy and wind energy solutions.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.
