Get out your calculator if you really need to i blueprint a farm and drop a few down when my power starts running low.
As you ve shown solar panel is active for t1 t3 0 5 0 2 0 7 of the day.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Given that here s a table to easily find out how many solar panels and accumulators you need to reach desired power output.
How many solar panels does it take to charge an accumulator in 1 day.
The accumulator can store up to 5 mj of energy.
To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Rule of thumb is 20 accumulators per 24 solar panels per kw demand or more specifically 84 accumulators per 100 solar panels generating roughly 4kw.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
The accumulator stores a limited amount of energy when available production exceeds demand and releases it in the opposite case.
Solar panels gives 60 kw at full light which is iirc around 200 seconds.
You can always sacrifice a bit of the optimal ratio for a cleaner design but you should stay in the area of 0 8 0 9.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio the optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
There is no reason to use complicated buggy code instead.
Learn how to set up an s r latch that let s you use the energy stored in the accumulators instead of burning coal.
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.
Make your factorio steam engines smart.
Which means that solar panel is effective 70 of the time or you could say that solar panel produces 42kw of power on average.
If connected to a circuit network an accumulator will output its level of charge as an integer from 0 to 100 to a specified signal.
I am new to factorio.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
The night time set would have the accumulators.
During the day the solar panels charge.
The math has been worked folded and spindled in the factorio forums many times.
I would like to set up a set of solar panels for use in the daytime then another set that would be used at night.
