Solar Panel Factory Factorio

This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.

Solar panel factory factorio.

Optimal production with my world settings would be 5 10 of both panels and accumulators. Find blueprints for the video game factorio. Search the tags for mining smelting and advanced production blueprints. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.

Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron they provide only a small amount of power and only during the daytime. To calculate the number of panels to get 10 gw hours are is follows. The accumulator can store up to 5 mj of energy. Its maximum charge discharge rate is 300 kw.

The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. 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. 10 1 000 000 10000000 to get the kw hours 10000000 60 60 2777 7777777777777777777777777778 to get kw seconds 2777 7777777777777777777777777778 60 46 29629 as a solar panel produces 60 kw.

Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw. Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton even with a large number of batteries. My searching abilities has only gotten images of actual solar farms not factories for producing these two components.

Designing production lines is a huge headache for me so i enjoy finding schematics of proven effective designs and building them. If connected to a circuit network an accumulator will output its level of charge as an integer from 0 to 100 to a specified signal. The b accumulator b stores a limited amount of energy when available production exceeds demand and releases it in the opposite case. Huge kudos to anyone that can help me out.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.
