Yet another solar array (42x42)

Post by yankee42 »

Here is yet another solar array:

Size: 42x42
Space efficiency (counting solar panels, batteries and roboport as "useful component"): ~98,87% (1744:1764)
Space efficiency (counting solar panels and batteries as "useful component"): ~98,07% (1730:1764)
Battery/solar array ratio: 117/140 = 0,835

Specials: Perfect square.

Is this just over on solar or accumulators?

The correct ratio is 0.84, right (if not, the answer may differ but the method remains the same)? Since the ratio is accumulators divided by solar panels, if the ratio is larger than expected then there are too many accumulators (due to the numerator being too large; dividing a larger number), and if it is smaller than expected then there are too many solar panels (due to the denominator being too large; dividing by a larger number). In this case (assuming I am correct in that the correct ratio is 0.84) the ratio is less than expected, therefore there are slightly too many solar panels for this number of accumulators.

Yep, that's the correct ratio. Looking back, battery/solar should have made that obvious. Thanks!
