One of the biggest improvement of this design is the efficient use of space and substations.
Accumulators solar panel ratio.
We would need the fewest accumulators if we would just draw power from them if solar panels would produce no power at all.
Note that this isolation is bidirectional.
I tried it out in sandbox mode with krastorio 2 and it seems correct.
The ratio 100 solar panels to 84 accumulators is optimized for solar panels first than for accumulators.
We could do that the other way around.
Since the maximum input output rate of an accumulator is 300 kw power flow between the two networks will be limited to 300 kw times the number of accumulators 1 5 mw in the example.
500 21 p mw solar panels 20 p mw accumulators these are the numbers i use.
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.
So for 2 1mw this works out to 50 solar panels and 42 accumulators exactly.
Or we can say we need 21 25 0 84 accumulators per solar panel.
600 mj capacity of accumulators.
So the result is we need 25 21 1 190476 period 6 more solar panels than accumulators.
If they don t last the night build more batteries.
That s the ratio most people on the forums use and used for a long time works pretty well for me as well.
Then when both of those are met build some more.
If your batteries can t fully charge during the day build more solar.
Or we can say we need 25 solar panels per 21 accumulators.
If anybody has some suggestions to make this design even better please let me know.
Alternatively this works out to a ratio of 25 solar panels to 21 accumulators.
Solar panels and accumulators 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.
The ratio doesn t matter nearly as much as people seem to think it does.
We could do that the other way around.
The amount of solar panels and accumulators you need is more.
So the op post is 100 accurate.
100 solar panels to 84 accumulators.
Now you have enough for a while.
