Batteries and personal solar panels.
Factorio solar panel start.

1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages.
3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game.
An easier start with solar power.
In the perfect ratio it gives you 42kw per solar cell for 0 resources amortized over time.
Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron they provide only a small amount of power and only during the daytime.
To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows.
Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Every other power source requires a constant influx of resources to produce power.
As you ve shown solar panel is active for t1 t3 0 5 0 2 0 7 of the day.
First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.
Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton even with a large number of batteries.
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.
Based on advanced electric mod but toned down.

3 new steam turbines for mid game.
Solar is the ultimate in resource to power ratio.
Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power output.
Which means that solar panel is effective 70 of the time or you could say that solar panel produces 42kw of power on average.
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.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Redid graphics and technology structure and costs.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Includes enough solar panels and accumulators to skip steam power till you can make your own solar power.
You see with solar there is some initial investment but after that power is simply free.
3 heat storages based on molten salt technology.
