When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
Factorio small solar panel 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.
P p p p s s p p p p p p p p s s p p p p 3 reasons for this layout.
Furnace starting setup a simple compact smelting block suitable for the beginning of the game.
Overall this design has a continuous power rating excluding roboport drain of 8 232mw.
This is because it doesn t waste any space that is occupied by unnecessary solar panels.
However high space efficiency is not the best indicator of a good design.
Something to consider is that many people like replacing a solar panel with a radar in.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
This layout has 170 accumulators and 196 panels.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Uses cheap components substations and medium towers are expensive.
Imo smartest way to do this is with the small power poles.
There are either 5 36 extra accumulators or 6 38 missing solar panels.

Now that factorio 1 0 has released i felt it s time to get back in the game to fix the old designs and maybe make something new.
Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy factorio solar panel layout energy hydro energy and wind energy solutions.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Even though this substation box design is more compact and has a higher space efficiency than this perf ratio 324 design the second design makes better use of both land and resources by being in the correct ratio.
This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.

Factorio solar panel layout what we can do.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
With the world slowly moving to the much dreaded energy crisis it is important that we reduce our dependency on non renewable sources of energy.
The ideal ratio is 0 84 accumulators panel.
It s small so it conforms to land well.
People get fancy with this.
