For each 5 solar panels you need 3 accumulators.
Factorio solar panel accumulator layout.
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.
The night time set would have the accumulators.
This tutorial covers solar panel arrangements to use at various stages of the game including the building of the massive ratio perfect array from this foru.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
The number of accumulators divided by the number of solar panels.
You need 17 solar panels for each steam engine running at max capacity.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.

This is a 25 21 0 84 ratio solar panel accumulator layout that i came up with and i didn t see it posted anywhere so i wanted to share it with the community.
The accumulator stores a limited amount of energy when available production exceeds demand and releases it in the opposite case.
But the ratio is off it s 26 accumulators and 32 panels for a ratio of 0 8125.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
When you fill in this 22x18 area with panels and accumulators it looks like this.
Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts.
This way solar panels can spill over two of the sides making each substation cover effectively a 22x18 area rather than 18x18.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
I would like to set up a set of solar panels for use in the daytime then another set that would be used at night.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
I am new to factorio.
Keep in mind that these numbers are approximate you may want to have a buffer for laser turrets if nothing else.
The accumulator can store up to 5 mj of energy.
Its maximum charge discharge rate is 300 kw.
Or more precisely you need power consumption in w 30 kw solar panels.
0 84 is the standard if you are building exactly the amount of power you need a little bit less than 0 84 means you have more solar panels which is good if you are planning to build too many of both and a little bit more than 0 84 means that you have more accumulators which is.
