Perfect Factorio Solar Panel Layout

Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.

Perfect factorio solar panel layout. The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. 2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428. Even though this substation box design is more compact and has a higher space efficiency than this perf ratio 324 design the second design makes better use of both land and resources by being in the correct ratio.

I leave a space to walk between. However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design. Just add as needed for each. So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently.

This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism. Published on oct 12 2017 this factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.

Haven t seen this design posted anywhere so here is yet another 0 15 solar panel layout this solar panel layout has a roboport only uses 4 substations has the exact 0 84 ratio 84 accumulators 100 solar panels and is symettrical. Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.

Mk1 a mark one is just a bunch of poles with y know solar panels mixed in madzuri nov 2016 mk2 focuses on ratios mk3 uses roboports to construct the tile mk4 uses a diagonal spacing to reduce roboports and ups mk5 makes use of most if not all of the radar range. I took to my sandbox editor and threw together a basic design checked it for ratios and found it a perfect 84 accumulators and 100 solar panels. I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar. 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.
