Perfect Factorio Solar Panel Layout

The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.

Perfect factorio solar panel layout. Note your roboports will be closer together here which isn t necessarily a bad thing depending on your base. Published on oct 12 2017 this factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord. 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. This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.

Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design.

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. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. I leave a space to walk between. This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels. Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.

Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels. 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. When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.

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.
