Factorio Solar Panel Accumulator Ratio

So the op post is 100 accurate.

Factorio solar panel accumulator ratio.

Or we can say we need 21 25 0 84 accumulators per solar panel. We could do that the other way around. Since the maximum input output rate of an accumulator is 300 kw power flow between the two networks will be limited to 300 kw times the number of accumulators 1 5 mw in the example. Anyway here s the source.

When accumulator and solar tech is first obtained i establish the ratio on a blueprint. Reverse operation ratio from decimal needs multiplication and reduction by the largest common divisor. The ratio 100 solar panels to 84 accumulators is optimized for solar panels first than for accumulators. We would need the fewest accumulators if we would just draw power from them if solar panels would produce no power at all.

Or we can say we need 25 solar panels per 21 accumulators. Either network can charge the accumulators and the accumulators can discharge into either network. 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. Note that this isolation is bidirectional.

Just divide if you need a decimal. We could do that the other way around. The ratios posted result in more solar panels then are needed to power factory and charge accumulators i had posted this in a topic on the steam forum a week ago when somebody was asking about solar panels and another person brought up the 0 8 1 ratio. 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.

8571 3 7 kw solar panels 600 mj capacity of accumulators so the result is we need 25 21 1 190476 period 6 more solar panels than accumulators. For me it is 1 1 mainly because of the spatial design easily tile able and low supply for the slow conbots out of the mk1 personal roboport not because of any other reason. Notes a single solar panel outputs an average of 42 kw over a day and requires 0 84 accumulators to sustain a constant power output through the night.
