Factorio solar panel accumulator layout. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity. Press j to jump to the feed. Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.

The correct ratio is 0 84 so 100 panels 84 accumulators will keep 24 hour supply of the appropriate power. This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18. When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this. I had found that a ratio of 1 2 to 1 5 accumulators per solar panel worked out perfectly fine.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Now connectible to the circuit network. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. This tutorial covers solar panel arrangements to use at various stages of the game including the building of the massive ratio perfect array from this foru.

Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software. For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators. In general this is a technique which works well when you ve just researched accumulators and solar panels but don t have enough resources to build big solar farms and accumulator farms yet. If you use the layout shown in katherine s guide and other places this utilises 180 solar panels and 151 accumulators to provide approximately 10mw per block day and night.

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. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. The ratios posted result in more solar panels then are needed to power factory and charge accumulators i had posted this in a topic on the steam forum a week ago when somebody was asking about solar panels and another person brought up the 0 8 1 ratio.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
