Factorio Solar Panel Accumulator Layout

When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.

Factorio solar panel accumulator layout. Now connectible to the circuit network. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators. You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.

There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw. The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.

I only bother with 2 solar panel 2 accumulator assemblers and that s probably overkill. This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software.

Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator. 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. 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. Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125. 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. 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.

This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18. Press j to jump to the feed. This is a 25 21 0 84 ratio solar panel accumulator layout that i came up with and i didn t see it posted anywhere so i wanted to share it with the community.
