How to compute the optimal accumulator solar panel ratio.
Optimal solar panel setup factorio.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
And there you go an optimal real system of solar panels and accumulators for any network.
Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
Since solar panel are the only outpur of electricity they need to generate during a whole day enough energy e sol to provide an average power p during this time.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio.
The solar panel was added because you can now separate the accumulator from your main electricity.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
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.
That is why that electrical grid uses 8 solar panels and 6 accumulators.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Let s say that our factory is using an average power p and that we want to power it only with solar panels and accumulators.
Perfectly work for covering the laser turrets spikes now.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
I suppose you could try to make a new ideal setup to use fewer substations but i don t think it s worth it to save the cost of a substation or two.
Side effect if 3 solar panels 1 accumulator can cover whole outpost needs works with angels and bob s mods should work with xander mod omnizelos mod s pyanodons mod s as well.
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.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Using n s 8 in the second equation n a is calculated at 5 62 which rounds up to 6.
I stand by what i said in the previous post.
For a radar n s is calculated at 7 14 which rounds up to 8.
