You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.
Best accumulator solar panel setup factario.
Perfectly work for covering the laser turrets spikes now.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio.
My base will burn through about half of my accumulator charge when it is producing at a moderate clip.
The same amount that can sustain your factory should be able to recharge easilly during daytime.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Side effect if 3 solar panels 1 accumulator can cover whole outpost needs works with angels and bob s mods should work with xander mod omnizelos mod s pyanodons mod s as well.
For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
Added 10x 100x and 1 000x solar panels and accumulator for better space management to craft you need.
Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.
Its not exact and it changes as i plop down more every so often.
The solar panel was added because you can now separate the accumulator from your main electricity.
You can always sacrifice a bit of the optimal ratio for a cleaner design but you should stay in the area of 0 8 0 9.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
4 000 accumulators would need 4 000 5 20 000 additional solar panels to charge at full 300 kw speed but luckily we have 200 full daylight seconds to recharge so you ll do with a lot less.
Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri.
1 do big solar panel research after solar energy.
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.
Currently i have 38000 solar panels 31000 accumulators and 1700 steam engines.
