Solar Panel Array Factorio

I believe every inch of area under a solar panel or accumulator to be covered is necessary if you want to tile the array because substations only connect at their coverage boundaries.

Solar panel array factorio.

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. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. 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. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.

Feb 3 2017 8 44am 11. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. 0 84 can be obtained by having one array with this modification per 309 134 2 306 arrays overall 175 modified arrays per 134 arrays with the op s layout while having one modified array per pair of arrays yields a ratio of 0 836 at an average of 8 275mw per array. If one replaces a 3x3 block of accumulators in a bit more than half of their arrays with panels one can get closer to the ideal ratio.

However i sort of concede that it is possible however the alignment of solar panels in the manor you suggest would actually waste more space than gained.
