Surviving Mars Solar Panel Vs Wind

Late game solar panel power production gets nerfed a lot due to the atmosphere changes and from what i have experienced if you start having a late game metal problem less metal being produced solar panels are gonna make that worse.

Surviving mars solar panel vs wind.

After my look at surviving mars lots of people called out the game for using wind turbines for energy generation on the surface of mars. The benefit is that you do not need to pay maintenance on the solar panels and no it is generally not worth it because domes are not cheap and solar panels don t produce that much electricity per hex. A planet which has an atmospheric pressure of less than 1. The wind power can continue to provide power overnight but the bulk of your power will come from solar during the day.

Also you can use the space betwen them to place solar panels or wind turbines etc. Yeah i was wondering on the feasibility of this while i am less inclined to do so for solar panels it does sounds nice early on for sterling engines because of the polymer maintenance but i guess it makes no diffrence on the long term. Later when you research fusion you can easily cover the power requirements for the future large power hungry installations. The limiting factor for solar panel wind resistance is almost never the panels themselves.

Late game you should have sterlings and fusion reactors getting complemented by wind turbines. Even they had the rsources to do large solar panels. Solar panels hold up well in high winds generally solar panels are highly resistant to damage from windy conditions. This means that they have the ability to generate power 24 hours a day whereas solar panels only generate power during sunlight hours.

Mar 7 2018 7 34pm nobody uses the small solar panel i. The primary benefit of wind over solar power for your home is that wind turbines aren t dependent on sunlight. Water deposits aren t reliable once your population goes above 1000 even if you manage your farms properly with the reclamation spire eventually you will need to set up vaporators but with the 50 upgrade you don t need as much free space as you might think. Oxygen generator wind generator tubes is kinda difficult.

Note that this isn t supposed to be a. Sterling and solar power in domes. Mar 8 2018 2 21am if you re running a decentralized grid smaller panels can be useful. Wind turbines to compliment them too.
