Solar Panel Array Factorio

I believe every inch of area under a solar panel or accumulator to be covered is necessary if you want to tile the array because substations only connect at their coverage boundaries.

Solar panel array factorio.

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. For the record solar panels provide 42kw on average so you need power consumption 42kw solar panels approximately 40 extra not 100 and enough accumulators to store the excess power consumption 42kw 0 84 last edited by alexmbrennan. However i sort of concede that it is possible however the alignment of solar panels in the manor you suggest would actually waste more space than gained. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
