Battery Portable Solar Panel Factorio

Portable fusion reactors are advanced power generating modules for modular armor and the spidertron they generate 750kw of power equivalent to 25 portable solar panels while taking up only a 4 4 grid in size.

Battery portable solar panel factorio. The battery by itself isn t a power source just power storage. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. For power your options are things like solar panels not the placeable big ones and a portable fusion reactor. Portable fusion reactors are essential items for power armor and power armor mk2 as running the many other modules in these armors would take far too many solar panels to be practical.

Portable solar panels are 1 1 in size and are therefore primarily used in modular armor which has a 5 5 grid that cannot usefully hold a much more powerful 4 4 portable fusion reactor. Not sure if there are other options it s been a while since i played. The battery is an intermediate product used in several key recipes including the utility science pack which is required for late game research and the flying robot frame which is required to build logistic and. 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 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. If the batteries are also present in there they should get charged. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. To my knowledge you will need some sort of power source inside your equipped armor.

This article is about the battery intermediate product. So you need either a portable solar panel or portable fusion reactor to charge the battery up before you can use it. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Ok i didn t realize i needed the modular armor in order to use personal equipment thanks for the info.

Also i don t know how much energy that belt immunity costs. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. For the modular armor equipment see personal battery and personal battery mk2 for the technology see battery research. Note that while the solar panels are producing 70kw the battery can store 20mj or 20000kj.
