Pixel Factory Solar Power Generation Ratio

As already stated, solar panels produce energy only during the day, but you are likely to want your factory running at night as well. Accumulatorscan be charged up with solar panels during the day to power the base at night. Accumulators are not the only way to work with solar energy. Sometimes it is more economical to just.

In Space Age, the closer the sun the solar panel is, the more power it produces. It also produces more power in space than on a planet. It takes 23.8 solar panels to operate 1 MW of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 MW through the night. The optimal ratio for solar power to charge enough accumulators is 21 accumulators for 25 solar panels (supplying 42 kW per solar panel).

How to read it: Pick your planet, pick your qualities and look up the number. The given number is how many accumulators you need to build per solar panel. So a value of 0.847 means you have to build 0.847 accumulators for 1 solar panel or 847 accumulators for every 1000 solar panels.

All the code is actually on github. The conversion code lives here: https://github.com/NicoKandut/factorio-solar-art/blob/main/src/logic/calculator.ts. If you know javascript/typescript it's probably easiest to just look at that. Basically, it looks at each pixel in the image and measures its brightness (bright = accumulator, dark = solar panel).

How to compute the optimal Accumulator / Solar panel ratio. Let's say that our factory is using an average power P and that we want to power it only with solar panels and accumulators. Since solar panel are the only outpur of electricity, they need to generate during a whole day enough energy E_sol to provide an average power P during.

This solar blueprint is intended to be simple: small, without roboports / other complexities. It has a reasonably good accumulator-to-solar-panel ratio, and can be repeated sideways. The ideal vanilla ratio is 0.84. When not repeated at all, the ratio is 70:84 ~= 0.83.

4 FAQs about [Pixel Factory Solar Power Generation Ratio]

Can I Power my structures with solar panels?

Powering your structures with solar panels is very common in Space Exploration, but once you leave Nauvis it is not immediately obvious how to generate power and how to set up structures to meet your needs.

Is solar PV Manufacturing a challenge?

Solar PV manufacturing is seeing remarkable growth and becoming a significant energy component in many countries despite rising raw materials prices. However, massive residential and commercial solar PV systems installations are introducing new challenges for many stakeholders, such as market and network operators.

Are all solar PV installations recorded?

However, not all solar PV installation locations and capacities are accurately recorded or monitored in any form of the central database. Most small-scale PV systems are registered with a central authority that offers incentives for their installation. However, it is not certain whether all systems are certified in this way.

Can satellite and aerial imagery identify solar PV systems' locations and capacities?

As a result, there is a growing interest in using satellite and aerial imagery to automatically identify solar PV systems’ locations and capacities across large regions. This paper provides an approach to assessing technical potential energy generation output using UNet with EfficientNetB7 backbone.
