Factorio Best Solar Panel Layout

Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.

Factorio best solar panel layout.

This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels. I leave a space to walk between. As for which to actually pick i d say it s up to your preference cilya s design with accumulators instead of a roboport is the only one with perfect 0 86 ratio among popular designs used by factorio players. Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software.

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.

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. 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. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel. Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in. Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.

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. You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity. Just add as needed for each. I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.

Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else. This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism. Original poster 1 point 2 years ago. So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently.
