Perfect Factorio Solar Panel Layout

Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.

Perfect factorio solar panel layout. I took to my sandbox editor and threw together a basic design checked it for ratios and found it a perfect 84 accumulators and 100 solar panels. 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. I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar. 2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.

Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels. Published on oct 12 2017 this factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.

However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design. Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you. Mk1 a mark one is just a bunch of poles with y know solar panels mixed in madzuri nov 2016 mk2 focuses on ratios mk3 uses roboports to construct the tile mk4 uses a diagonal spacing to reduce roboports and ups mk5 makes use of most if not all of the radar range. The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Haven t seen this design posted anywhere so here is yet another 0 15 solar panel layout this solar panel layout has a roboport only uses 4 substations has the exact 0 84 ratio 84 accumulators 100 solar panels and is symettrical. This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels. Note your roboports will be closer together here which isn t necessarily a bad thing depending on your base.

So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently. I leave a space to walk between. Just add as needed for each. As for which to actually pick i d say it s up to your preference cilya s design with accumulators instead of a roboport is the only one with perfect 0 86 ratio among popular designs used by factorio players.
