Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Best solar panel layout factorio.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
I leave a space to walk between.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.
Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.
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.
You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.
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 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.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Just add as needed for each.

Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels.
For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
