The Small Solar Panel is a power production building that needs to be connected to the High Voltage Grid.
It will start at 100kW production at 8:00 and slowly ramp up Power linearly to 300kW at 11:00. At 16:00 Power will start to ramp down linearly again ending at 100kW at 19:00. This means that the average Power Output of one Small Solar Panel over a full day is 112.5 kW.
This average can be used over the full day using a Battery. To calculate the Battery Capacity:
- 1 MW is 1MJ/real life second
- One in-game day with 24 hours is 30 real life minutes = 1800 seconds = 75 seconds per in-game hour.
- The Power has to be delivered for about 14 hours by the Battery.
- 112.5 kW * 14 hours * 75 seconds per hour = 1,118,125 kJ = 118 MJ
This means a small Battery (250MJ) can average out the Power of 2 Small Solar Panels and a Large Battery (1000MJ) can average out about 8 Small Solar Panels.
