I have recently bought the game and tried to build a base that runs on solar power only, that means I need accumulators to get through the night, lots of them. But how many?
I first did the math in my head but that got annoying quick, so I wrote this simple calculator to do it for me.
If you are also annoyed by having to crunch the numbers yourself every time you expand your power grid, then this tool is also for you!
(it took me 5-10 minutes to write this in vb, hope there aren't any bugs, let me know if there are)
Version 0.2
Added Features suggested by user Factorio2016:
-custom values for accumulator capacity and solar panel energy production can be input
-now shows how much additional energy you will need during the day to recharge your accumulators
edit: I just realized that I posted this under general tools instead of calculators, could a mod please move it?

Re: Faccalc [Factorio Accumulator Calculator]
Good, but very simple. Little information.
Add information about the solar panels.
And the ability to change the values of the voltages for the panels and batteries.
To use for modifications.
