Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.
Factorio solar panel rates.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
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.
Such as the wiki reddit and factorio discord from which this is all based on.
4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy.
3 heat storages based on molten salt technology.
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.
A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources.
This is only a sliver of the info available.
I would like to set up a set of solar panels for use in the daytime then another set that would be used at night.
You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.
The top panel in the e series comes out at a whopping 435 watts.
Accumulator ratio 70 solar panel power accumulator energy for example using vanilla values.
Features of this calculator include.
1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages.
How many solar panels does it take to charge an accumulator in 1 day.
When just looking at residential solar panels the top wattage panel available is the sunpower a series ac module the top panel in the a series line boasts a wattage of 425 watts.
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.
3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game.
This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph.
50 extra capacity or use 80 of accu storage and have 20 as buffer.
I am new to factorio.
The solar panel with the highest watt is the sunpower e series a commercial solar panel line.
3 new steam turbines for mid game.
The night time set would have the accumulators.
Proper handling of oil products.
