During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Factorio solar panel buid.
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.
Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power output.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
As you ve shown solar panel is active for t1 t3 0 5 0 2 0 7 of the day.

Based on advanced electric mod but toned down.
To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows.
Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.
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.
Furthermore batteries are a crucial component of powering a factory using solar power because of their use in crafting accumulators.
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.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Batteries are also used for defense as they are needed to make laser turrets which is the only turret that uses electricity instead of ammunition in item or fluid form.
