v0.1.11618
Solar components generate full power during the day and reduced power at night. Thus they need to be complemented with energy storage such as batteries. We can calculate how much energy we need if we know how much daylight power we need to replace at night and how long the night lasts. Night lasts from 21:30 to 2:20, or 0.2 of the day, and days are 500, 1000, or 1500 seconds respectively depending on whether the day length has been set to Short, Normal, or Long. So the corresponding number of batteries is:
solar_power_generated * 0.8 * 0.2 * day_period / power_storage
Under some conditions (e.g. short days) a battery might be limited by its discharge rate:
solar_power_generated * 0.8 * / drain_rate
| day_period | Capacitor | Small Battery | Medium Battery | Large Battery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 4 | 1.06 | 0.32 | 0.032 |
| Normal | 8 | 1.06 | 0.32 | 0.032 |
| Long | 12 | 1.6 | 0.48 | 0.048 |
