	This tutorial lacks discussion of [[Space Age]] features: [[quality]] [[solar panel]]s and [[accumulator]]s, [[planets]] other than Nauvis, space locations (orbits, solar system edge), and space routes. The first three topics can be discussed with concrete numbers, like in the [[solar panel]] page, while the last topic could be discussed in the abstract.

			This article reads more like a research paper than a tutorial. I find it overly technical, and I find myself wondering who the target audience is supposed to be. As-is, I feel that it belongs on the forums or a blog post rather than on the wiki.

			I also question its approach: Finding the solar-accumulator ratio experimentally. The ratio can be mathematically derived from the day-night cycle and entity properties in the Factoriopedia and/or source code. This has already been done at [[power production#Solar panels and accumulators]], which is considerably shorter and more approachable to the layman. And then quality and planet-specific info is covered in [[solar panel]].

			Therefore, I'm marking this page as a candidate for deletion.

This tutorial lacks discussion of [[Space Age]] features: [[quality]] [[solar panel]]s and [[accumulator]]s, [[planets]] other than Nauvis, space locations (orbits, solar system edge), and space routes. The first three topics can be discussed with concrete numbers, like in the [[solar panel]] page, while the last topic could be discussed in the abstract.
