So i felt like designing a solar layout because i d seen some talk about it recently.
Perfect factorio solar panel layout.
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.
The build has the perfect ratio of solar panels to accumulators is nearly symmetrical and tilable.
I leave a space to walk between.
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.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
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.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.

Just add as needed for each.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
This factorio 0 15 workshop covers a solar layout design by zarklord.
2628 accumulators 3118 solar panels 0 8428.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
I took to my sandbox editor and threw together a basic design checked it for ratios and found it a perfect 84 accumulators and 100 solar panels.
Plop a sub station down and fill it with solar pannels.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
In this factorio workshop xterminator and madzuri cover a new solar layout design made by zuri with the new factorio 0 15 substation coverage.
I don t beleve in perfect ratios for solar.
