Or we can say we need 21 25 0 84 accumulators per solar panel.
Accumulators solar panel ratio.
The amount of solar panels and accumulators you need is more.
Note that this isolation is bidirectional.
Then when both of those are met build some more.
If they don t last the night build more batteries.
So for 2 1mw this works out to 50 solar panels and 42 accumulators exactly.
164 solar panel 141 accumulators which gives an ratio of 0 86 a bit higher than the optimal but in my opinion just perfect.
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.
If anybody has some suggestions to make this design even better please let me know.
So the op post is 100 accurate.
Now you have enough for a while.
The ratio doesn t matter nearly as much as people seem to think it does.
600 mj capacity of accumulators.
If your batteries can t fully charge during the day build more solar.
100 solar panels to 84 accumulators.
Alternatively this works out to a ratio of 25 solar panels to 21 accumulators.
So the result is we need 25 21 1 190476 period 6 more solar panels than accumulators.
Or we can say we need 25 solar panels per 21 accumulators.
Either network can charge the accumulators and the accumulators can discharge into either network.
500 21 p mw solar panels 20 p mw accumulators these are the numbers i use.
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.
One of the biggest improvement of this design is the efficient use of space and substations.
We could do that the other way around.
And each cycle the accumulator charge goes from 0 to 100 and back to 0.
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.
I tried it out in sandbox mode with krastorio 2 and it seems correct.
We would need the fewest accumulators if we would just draw power from them if solar panels would produce no power at all.
