Grid blueprints for solar and rails

In recent factorio experimental version there was added blueprint grid, so I decided to create my own grid blueprint for rails and power production.

In single cell there is some excess of accumulators, but accumulators on the edges are shared between cells. If this blueprint would be placed on infinite grid, the accumulator/solar ratio would be 0.81, for reasonably big grids like 3x5 the ratio is 0.86, so it is quite near being optimal.

After quite a lot of trials, errors and tweaking I managed to fit symmetric 4-lane 4-way intersection in the grid.
Because this intersection is symmetric, I could take subsets of the rails for straight segments, turns, T-intersections and they are easily placable over each other.
