Factorio Solar Panel Accumulator Layout

Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.

Factorio solar panel accumulator layout.

Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software. There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. 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.

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. 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. Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels. Now connectible to the circuit network.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel. When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.

Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator. I only bother with 2 solar panel 2 accumulator assemblers and that s probably overkill. Press j to jump to the feed. Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in order to get the coverage needed to deal with blueprints from map mode.

After the initial production to catch up with surpass steam i just limit production via logistics network to 10mw of additional capacity and stamp down more solar panel field blueprints as needed. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity. For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
