Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
How many solar panels needed for factorio achievement.
Produce more than 10 gj per hour using solar panels.
10 gj 1h 10 gj 3600s 2 8mw 66 1 solar panels.
One solar panel provides 60 kw peak.
One solar panel produces about 1 24 kwh per day.
It only takes 47 panels.
So i look up the recipe and see that it takes 100 solar panels to make and begin putting together the materials needed to craft them.
Maths for above if you re interested.
Solaris 10 gj hour using solar panels however eludes me.
In order to get the solaris achievement you need to have 47 solar panels connected without any steam engine s for at least an hour.
Kilowatts can be directly converted to gj h.
I look it up to see if i am not allowed to place a solar panel or not allowed to make a solar panel.
Solaris achievement solved so i launched my rocket quite a while ago using this factory to explore different aspects of the game and garner a few additional steam achievements.
I would assume that power generated by steam turbines does not count as power generated by solar panels.
The number of panels you need for your house depends on factors like location and panel performance.
In the example above you would need 24 solar panels to account for 80 of your average consumption 29 6 kwh daily usage divided by 1 24 kwh per panel.
1kw 1000 j s 1kw 0 0036 gj h.
It takes 23 8 solar panels to operate 1 mw of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 mw through the night.
8100 solar panels generating up to 486 mw.
See my comment with the correct calculation.
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.
But wait in the process of setting up the assemblers i remember the achievement.
Likewise if you wanted to account for 100 of your daily kwh consumption you would need 30 solar panels 37 kwh daily usage divided by 1 24 kwh per panel.
The achievement is 10 gj per hour not 10 gw.
