Factorio Solar Panel Accumulator Layout

This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.

Factorio solar panel accumulator layout.

Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else. Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software.

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. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.

Press j to jump to the feed. When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this. 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. Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.

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. There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. I only bother with 2 solar panel 2 accumulator assemblers and that s probably overkill. Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator.

Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators. Now connectible to the circuit network. 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.

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. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
