More accumulators than needed helps safeguard from unexpected night spikes more solar than can be accumulated gets all wasted.
Factorio perfect solar layout.
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.
I leave a space to walk between.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
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.
Just add as needed for each.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
Source this setup puts all 4 science packs on one belt making it easier to grab the science packs from the belt to the labs and looking pretty chaotic and cool.
This so sums up factorio perfectionism and practicalism.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
This layout is not made by me.
And slightly over the ratio instead of under is the way to go.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.
