Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Factorio 0 15 solar panel setup.
Apr 20 2015 as you ve shown solar panel is active for t1 t3 0 5 0 2 0 7 of the day.
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.

Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power.
Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri.

Hope this doesn t count as necro ing a thread it s only a month old.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio.
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.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Buy on humble supports me at no extra cost to you.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.

Join me as i explore all the wonders that factorio 0 17 has to offer.
15 top tips for beginners.
Anyways this is the solar panel setup i ve been using it has roboport integration and it has a perfect 20 24 ratio total of 120 accumulators and 144 solar panels technically for the optimal 1 0 84 ratio you would need 1 more accumulator in this setup 0 91 of one actually but there is also a lot of excess space in the.
Which means that solar panel is effective 70 of the time or you could say that solar panel produces 42kw of power on average.
