Factorio solar panels to accumulators.
It takes 23 8 solar panels to operate 1 mw of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 mw through the night.
The accumulators start delivering power when the output of your panels drops below p during dusk not at the beginning of dusk.
Tier 1 are the standard built in solar panels and accumulators.
Essentially you are saying only deliver power to these systems if i have enough to spare and even then don t exceed this delivery rate.
The night time set would have the accumulators.
A close enough ratio is 20 24 1 accumulators to solar panels to megawatts required for example a factory requiring 10 mw can be approximately.
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.
Each tier takes 10 of the previous tier objects and produces or stores 10x the energy.
The accumulators stop delivering power when the output of your panels is above p during dawn not at the beginning of dawn.
Solar panels gives 60 kw at full light which is iirc around 200 seconds.
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.
Night including dusk and dawn is around 200 seconds.
While the sun is out your solar panels have to output q power where q p.
A radar can be continuously powered by eight solar panels and six accumulators.
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.
Quote from factorio wiki.
I am new to factorio.
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.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
In general this is a technique which works well when you ve just researched accumulators and solar panels but don t have enough resources to build big solar farms and accumulator farms yet.
This mod provides up to 4 levels of solar and accumulators.
1 j 1 w measured over 1 second.
It gives the radar full power all but a short time in the morning but never dips below the 20 power threshold for nearby scanning.
Standard from the base game advances elite and ultimate.
Seven solar panels and five accumulators is the most efficient.
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.
