Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Factorio solar panel setup blueprint.
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.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri.
Find blueprints for the video game factorio.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
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.
373 309 9 444 309 4 115248 137200 0 84.
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.
So if you stamp down 309 copies of the blueprint at the top and replace one of the 3x3 squares of accumulators with panels you will have a perfect ratio lets check by doing the math.
Search the tags for mining smelting and advanced production blueprints.
Fairly large amount of solar panels 137 200 but not for megabase sort of scales.
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.

Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
This setup will apply many different belts or inserters with electric poles.
