I had found that a ratio of 1 2 to 1 5 accumulators per solar panel worked out perfectly fine.
Solar panel accumulator ratio.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
Now connectible to the circuit network.
Then when both of those are met build some more.
Take the current ratio of 0 84 and multiply it by 100 60 5 10 which gets me 0 7.
Solar panels are producing 0 nominal power 10 of the day.
If your batteries can t fully charge during the day build more solar.
If your power draw is constant then the optimal ratio is 25 solar panels to 21 accumulators.
500 21 p mw solar panels 20 p mw accumulators these are the numbers i use.
Provide power p recharge accumulators.
Now you have enough for a while.
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.
100kw from 60 accumulator capacity.
Your solar panels have 2 functions.
In general this is a technique which works well when you ve just researched accumulators and solar panels but don t have enough resources to build big solar farms and accumulator farms yet.
K2 changed the power output of panels and capacity of accumulators.
Solar panel max output.
10 mj from 5 as far as i know the length of the day hasn t changed.
Dusk dawn so on average they produce 70 of nominal power.
The ratio doesn t matter nearly as much as people seem to think it does.
The ratios posted result in more solar panels then are needed to power factory and charge accumulators i had posted this in a topic on the steam forum a week ago when somebody was asking about solar panels and another person brought up the 0 8 1 ratio.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
So for 2 1mw this works out to 50 solar panels and 42 accumulators exactly.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Entire timespan that solar panels are not producing 100 energy will be.
Night solar panels are producing 50 nominal power 40 of the day.
Alternatively this works out to a ratio of 25 solar panels to 21 accumulators.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
While the sun is out your solar panels have to output q power where q p.
If they don t last the night build more batteries.
If there is variance than you need to know what the greatest possible drain over the timespan from beginning of dusk to end of dawn is i e.
