When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
Factorio solar panel accumulator layout.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts.
Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.
If you use the layout shown in katherine s guide and other places this utilises 180 solar panels and 151 accumulators to provide approximately 10mw per block day and night.
This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
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.
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.
You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.
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.
For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
Subreddit for the game factorio made by wube software.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator.
Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.
I had found that a ratio of 1 2 to 1 5 accumulators per solar panel worked out perfectly fine.
The correct ratio is 0 84 so 100 panels 84 accumulators will keep 24 hour supply of the appropriate power.
Now connectible to the circuit network.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
