Factorio better solar panels.
Then we ceil that as we have to have an integer for our solar panel count and we get 47 solar panels producing 2820 kw seconds or 10 152 gw hours.
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.
This means you ll need over 850 panels and almost just as much capacitors to match a single offshore pumps worth of steam engine.
1 do big solar panel research after solar energy.
As far as i can see is the accumulator from the satelitte recipe the default factorio version.
Makes bob s solar panels and accumulators stronger.
A full steam engine setup on 1 offshore pipe is 40 engines.
Added 10x 100x and 1 000x solar panels and accumulator for better space management to craft you need.
Keep in mind the game uses kw or mw or gw seconds as defualt which is why i converted to them in the calculations.
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.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Cons requires a crap ton of space the amount of solar panels and capacitors required to match a steam engine is 21 panels and about 18 19 capacitors.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Put the zip in your mods folder do not extract factorio mods description.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
Better bob s solar panels.
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.
Also adds an option to remove the alternate solar panels accumulators.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Better bob s solar panels.
