#Factorio solar panel ratio plus#
I had a design utilizing a substation in the center surrounded by 8 Accumulators and then circled by 32 Solar Panels (picture attached), but I wanted a bit more of an even mix of Panels to Accumulators, plus expanding the layout over a wide area required periodically replacing one of the Accumulators with Big Poles, so not easily Blueprintable, unless you had multiple BluePrints to deal with the longer wire reach required. Solar panels only provide energy during the day. Aesthetically I like this layout because at night when the Accumulators come on, they create a cross pattern. I had a couple situations where when placed, the wires didn't connect to nearby Substations, leaving me with a couple groups that were their own power network. In addition, if placing a number of these, you'll want to make sure most of the substations connect to each other. If you don't place them in line horizontally or vertically with each other, wires won't reach to each other. Finally, the ratio of these two values can be computed : n / m (Eacc / P') (o / c) (t1 + t3) t2 + t3 (t1 + t3) / T / T (o/c) We can get the values from the wiki. Achievements Solaris Produce more than 10 GJ per hour using only solar panels. They can be computed from the capacity c of one accumulator and the power output o of one solar panel.

By default, this is just the standard Accumulator and Solar Panel, but mods may change them or add more and this mod handles them. It takes 23.8 solar panels to operate 1 MW of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 MW through the night. Latest Version: 0.0.4 (1 year, 8 months ago) Factorio version: 0.18 - 1.1 Downloaded: 2831 times A simple mod that adds a button to calculate optimal solar panel ratios. If you need an Accumulator layout to boost the number of Accumulators 48 Accumulators surrounding a Substation. Notes A single solar panel outputs an average of 42 kW over a day and requires 0.84 accumulators to sustain a constant power output through the night. 16 Solar Panels, 12 Accumulators with a Substation in the center.
