Tutorial talk:Solar power math

Space Age

This tutorial lacks discussion of Space Age features: quality solar panels and accumulators, 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.
