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.
Factorio solar panel accum.
10 1 000 000 10000000 to get the kw hours 10000000 60 60 2777 7777777777777777777777777778 to get kw seconds 2777 7777777777777777777777777778 60 46 29629 as a solar panel produces 60 kw.
The accumulator can store up to 5 mj of energy.
To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows.
During the day the solar panels charge.
As you ve shown solar panel is active for t1 t3 0 5 0 2 0 7 of the day.
If connected to a circuit network an accumulator will output its level of charge as an integer from 0 to 100 to a specified signal.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
I would like to set up a set of solar panels for use in the daytime then another set that would be used at night.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
The correct ratio is 0 84 so 100 panels 84 accumulators will keep 24 hour.
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.
Solar panels gives 60 kw at full light which is iirc around 200 seconds.
Rule of thumb is 20 accumulators per 24 solar panels per kw demand or more specifically 84 accumulators per 100 solar panels generating roughly 4kw.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Which means that solar panel is effective 70 of the time or you could say that solar panel produces 42kw of power on average.
There is no reason to use complicated buggy code instead.

Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power output.
Get out your calculator if you really need to i blueprint a farm and drop a few down when my power starts running low.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
How many solar panels does it take to charge an accumulator in 1 day.
The accumulator stores a limited amount of energy when available production exceeds demand and releases it in the opposite case.
Its maximum charge discharge rate is 300 kw.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio the optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
Learn how to set up an s r latch that let s you use the energy stored in the accumulators instead of burning coal.
