In this factorio workshop xterminator and madzuri cover a new solar layout design made by zuri with the new factorio 0 15 substation coverage.
Perfect factorio solar panel layout.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
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.
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.
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.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Just add as needed for each.
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.
I leave a space to walk between.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.

Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
