Efficient Solar Panels Factorio

Solar panel efficiency is a measure of how much sunlight that hits the surface area of a solar panel is converted into usable electricity.

Efficient solar panels factorio.

You can get great efficiency with solar panels and capacitors especially using roboports and blueprints. Makes space efficient solar farms viable and reduces the hassle to place as many panels. Adds higher tiers of solar panels and accumulators. At the moment i m using solar in a fuel saving capacity.

Massive fields of blue and grey squares at the fringes of your base. For the record solar panels provide 42kw on average so you need power consumption 42kw solar panels approximately 40 extra not 100 and enough accumulators to store the excess power consumption 42kw 0 84 last edited by alexmbrennan. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. It has a space efficiency space taken up by panels and accumulators of 0 9898.

13 days ago 0 16 1 0 36868. There are 327 panels and 539 accumulators in this thing. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.

Very close to the ideal of 0 84. If you d like i ve got a symmetrical design here i worked on awhile ago. 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 one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.

So if a solar panel has an efficiency rating of 15 that means 15 of the sunlight that hits the solar panels will be converted into electricity. 14 substations 373 accumulators and 444 solar panels. It s large scale but it s a great way to ramp up your energy potential. As you can see i rotated half of them to make it symmetrical.

I ve tried to make the most use of empty space by putting panels and accumulators everywhere. Default production multiplier 10 100 1000. 2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428. 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.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. So almost 99 and an accumulator to solar panel ratio of 0 84009. Feb 3 2017 8 44am 11.
