Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Factorio solar panel arrya.
Welcome to a vanilla factorio 0 17.
I gave it a shot it isn t perfectly symmetrical but it has a ratio of 0 82.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Spaghetti might happen i was asked to link to the solar.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
I m very new here and i just discovered that you only need a few solar panels to fully charge a huge network of accumulators.
Join me as i explore 0 17 and try to transition from a single rocket base into a megabase.
Have not seen any solar designs yet everyone is most likely playing with nuclear power.
When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.
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.
It is tileable and if you use 4 of them it makes some interesting designs.
2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
