I m relatively new to the game but have been enjoying it immensely.
Factorio solar panels needed for acheivement.
Solar panels only provide energy during the day.
Please try again later.
60kw max 42kw average per solar panel ratio of 70 usable to total 10mw worth of solar panels will power a factory of 7mw.
Maths for above if you re interested.
One solar panel provides 60 kw peak.
Has to be just upped my solar panel game and went to 10 000 solar panels and no achievement.
There is an achievement you cannot build any solar panels but i remember before you launch your rocket you need to insert a satellite and that satellite require like 100 solar panels wondering how to get that done.
Been waiting 30ish minutes and nothing so far.
This was my first game with biters so i got a lot of those achievements satisfied.
This feature is not available right now.
During the day excess power generated is stored in accumulators during the night accumulators release their charge to power your factory.
It doesn t say on steam using just solar panels and just says without using steam engines but thank you for that amount.
Kilowatts can be directly converted to gj h.
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.
A single solar panel outputs an average of 42 kw over a day and requires 0 84 accumulators to sustain a constant power output through the night.
In my 1h tab it still shows steam engines so i assume i need to wait an actual hour.
1kw 1000 j s 1kw 0 0036 gj h.
I would assume that power generated by steam turbines does not count as power generated by solar panels.
10 gj 1h 10 gj 3600s 2 8mw 66 1 solar panels.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
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.
So today i realized i messed up.
I started a new game when the 0 17 beta released with the intention of knocking out some of the achievements.
I ve dismantled steam engines completely to ensure they aren t powering anything.
It takes 23 8 solar panels to operate 1 mw of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 mw through the night.
