Factorio Solar Panel Production

Huge kudos to anyone that can help me out.

Factorio solar panel production.

Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Such as the wiki reddit and factorio discord from which this is all based on. This is only a sliver of the info available. This is a compendium of the most common factorio facts as of v1 0 release.

The combination of solar panels and accumulator will fully use the grid. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. 3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game. First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.

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. It has the nearly optimal ratio. A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources. Solar panels and accumulator combination.

I only bother with 2 solar panel 2 accumulator assemblers and that s probably overkill. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. 0 18 v1 2 2 fixed entity icon graphics v1 2 1 version change for 0 18. Default production multiplier 10 100 1000.

3 new steam turbines for mid game. It is a seamless connection to the next part. 3 heat storages based on molten salt technology. Based on advanced electric mod but toned down.

4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy. Makes space efficient solar farms viable and reduces the hassle to place as many panels. Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators. Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.

Proper handling of oil products. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph.

Oil refinery storage tanks and battery production example. Optimal production with my world settings would be 5 10 of both panels and accumulators. My searching abilities has only gotten images of actual solar farms not factories for producing these two components. Redid graphics and technology structure and costs.

1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages. Adds higher tiers of solar panels and accumulators. After the initial production to catch up with surpass steam i just limit production via logistics network to 10mw of additional capacity and stamp down more solar panel field blueprints as needed.
