Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
This mod adds new tiers for small medium and big and the substation.
Adds small smart meter electric pole which can be used to measure electric network power production for circuit network transmitting signals to any nearby constant combinator in addition to its usual function.
There s an alternative simplier version of this mod circuit power measurement combinator maybe use that one instead.
The cost are only slightly higher than if you build the grid one by one.
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 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.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
The first ones spans over 32x32 und the second one spans over 64x64.
Both are replacements for a huge number of small power poles used to span an area.
The area of coverage appears as a blue overlay around.

In this first version are only 2 but new power poles.
