Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio.
Factorio solar panel accumulator setup.
Make your factorio steam engines smart.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
I am new to factorio.
During the day the solar panels charge.
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.
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.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
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.
How many solar panels does it take to charge an accumulator in 1 day.
Now connectible to the circuit network.
The night time set would have the accumulators.
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 means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
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.
Learn how to set up an s r latch that let s you use the energy stored in the accumulators instead of burning coal.
I had found that a ratio of 1 2 to 1 5 accumulators per solar panel worked out perfectly fine.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
The ratios posted result in more solar panels then are needed to power factory and charge accumulators i had posted this in a topic on the steam forum a week ago when somebody was asking about solar panels and another person brought up the 0 8 1 ratio.
Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator.
