Now that factorio 1 0 has released i felt it s time to get back in the game to fix the old designs and maybe make something new.
Factorio small solar panel layout.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
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.
People get fancy with this.
Even though this substation box design is more compact and has a higher space efficiency than this perf ratio 324 design the second design makes better use of both land and resources by being in the correct ratio.
Have a browse through the images for design ideas or download the designs from the blueprint book section at the end.
Uses cheap components substations and medium towers are expensive.
With the world slowly moving to the much dreaded energy crisis it is important that we reduce our dependency on non renewable sources of energy.
This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.

Furnace starting setup a simple compact smelting block suitable for the beginning of the game.
This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels.
Lets you walk through it.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.
Imo smartest way to do this is with the small power poles.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
P p p p s s p p p p p p p p s s p p p p 3 reasons for this layout.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy factorio solar panel layout energy hydro energy and wind energy solutions.
However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design.
