The ratio doesn t matter nearly as much as people seem to think it does.
Factorio solar panels to accumulators ratio.
If they don t last the night build more batteries.
Now you have enough for a while.
I tried it out in sandbox mode with krastorio 2 and it seems correct.
Optimal ratio 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.
If your batteries can t fully charge during the day build more solar.
20 regular solar panels or 8 advanced solar panels combined with 14 20 0 7 accumulators gave a stable 1 4mw for 35 sentinels 35 20kw 1 4mw.
8571 3 7 kw solar panels 600 mj capacity of accumulators so the result is we need 25 21 1 190476 period 6 more solar panels than accumulators.
Without detailed calculations i believe that solar panels cost more than accumulators.
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.
So the op post is 100 accurate.
And each cycle the accumulator charge goes from 0 to 100 and back to 0.
Your factory needs an average p power.
A close enough ratio is 20 24 1 accumulators to solar panels to megawatts required for example a factory requiring 10 mw can be approximately.
Every ratio from almost 0 to infinite is valid as long as you have enough panels acc.
Or we can say we need 21 25 0 84 accumulators per solar panel.
Solar panels are producing 100 nominal power 50 of the day.
It takes 23 8 solar panels to operate 1 mw of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 mw through the night.
Or we can say we need 25 solar panels per 21 accumulators.
The amount of solar panels and accumulators you need is more.
A single solar panel outputs an average of 42 kw over a day and requires 0 84 accumulators to sustain a constant power output through the night.
