[0.15] Mk3 Solar Array

Have not seen any solar designs yet, everyone is most likely playing with nuclear power. I gave it a shot, it isn't perfectly symmetrical but it has a ratio of 0.82. It is tileable and if you use 4 of them it makes some interesting designs. http://imgur.com/1bCKrbF

My improved version, based on the same design...

Single Ratio Array Robo In 168/200=.84 perfect ratio.
200*042=8.4 MW + 168*.3=50.4 MW = 58.8 MW
charge 168*5/8.4=100 seconds

Space Efficiency:
(220 * 3) + 193 + 16 + (4 * 4) = 885 ? total spaces...
(100 / 885) * ((220 * 3) + 193 - 8) = 95.48% ?
remove the overlap 193 - (8*2) - (7*4) = 149 and 220 - (8*2) - (4*2) = 196
so in the end (100 / 745) * ((196 * 3) + 149 - 8) = 97.85% ?

Single Ratio Array Robo Out 193/220=.877 most space efficient overall power production
220*.042=9.24 MW + 193*.3=57.9 MW = 67.14 MW
charge 168*5/8.4=104.43 seconds

2x2 Ratio Array Robo In 653/800=.816
800*.042=33.6 MW + 653*.3=195.9 MW = 229.5 MW
charge 653*5/33.6=97.17 seconds

2x2 Ratio Array Robo Out 704/840=.838 probably cheapest design if you want a walkway in between your arrays.
840*.042=35.28 MW + 704*.3=211.2 MW = 246.48 MW
charge 704*5/35.28=99.77 seconds
if you replace 2 unnecessary power stations its ratio is 706/840=.84
