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.
Factorio small solar panel blueprint.
It has a space efficiency space taken up by panels and accumulators of 0 9898.
This mod buffs the solar panels bob s offers 2x 4x or 8x increase each tier as well as removes the small large solar panels and slow fast high capacity accumulators so you can use all your normal solar blueprints in bob s mods this can be disabled.
The main idea behind this solar build is the entire blueprint fits on one radar area.
You should construct on a 14 14 tiles grid at the start.

Design blueprint here s a link to the blueprint string.
Seamless space saving blueprints 14 14 tiles there are many examples in factorio download game related to how to build up something on a small and cramped location by only using the substation range of 14 14 tiles.
Factorio prints this is a site to share blueprints for the game factorio.
One blueprint has lamps and the other does not.
Furnace starting setup a simple compact smelting block suitable for the beginning of the game.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
14 substations 373 accumulators and 444 solar panels.
So almost 99 and an accumulator to solar panel ratio of 0 84009.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Blueprints can be exported from the game using the in game blueprint manager.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
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.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
It gives the radar full power all but a short time in the morning but never dips below the 20 power threshold for nearby scanning.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Have a browse through the images for design ideas or download the designs from the blueprint book section at the end.
Seven solar panels and five accumulators is the most efficient.
