This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph.
Factorio solar panel ratio.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Solar panel to accumulator ratio.
During the day excess power generated is stored in accumulators during the night accumulators release their charge to power your factory.
How many solar panels does it take to charge an accumulator in 1 day.
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.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Proper handling of oil products.
Solar panel to accumulator ratio.
Solar panels only provide energy during the day.
Hello i am new to factorio.
You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
