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.
Solar panel array factorio.
For the record solar panels provide 42kw on average so you need power consumption 42kw solar panels approximately 40 extra not 100 and enough accumulators to store the excess power consumption 42kw 0 84 last edited by alexmbrennan.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.

However i sort of concede that it is possible however the alignment of solar panels in the manor you suggest would actually waste more space than gained.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
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.
I believe every inch of area under a solar panel or accumulator to be covered is necessary if you want to tile the array because substations only connect at their coverage boundaries.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
