anyone know for different planets?

Don't know, but they also differ by what quality you're using. Solar is only useful for a backup power source on any planet aside from Nauvis though.

Vulcanus: Infinite hot steam for turbines without nuclear.
Fulgora: Infinite power with just accumulators and lightning collectors.
Gleba: Infinite hot steam from burning excess and spoiled stuff in heating towers -> turbines. Can also produce rocket fuel for power.
Aquilo: Solar power 1% (or 0.1%? forgot), can use heating towers or brought nuclear fuel, fusion power.

pretty sure the the sulfuric acid geysers(and others such as crude oil type) depreciate over time?

acid neutralization uses a lot of sulfuric acid ~200 per second i believe.

It also creates a ton of steam. A single chem plant making acid steam can support something like 30 steam turbines. Maybe more. It is as free as one can be without being free. The geyser fields are also gigantic.

They deplete over (very long) time but never below 20% of its original maximum. And yeah it uses extremely tiny amount of calcite and the acid. You can even eventually make a space platform on Vulcanus to bring down more calcite from infinite asteroids. In fact platforms make so much calcite i can make it in orbit of Nauvis for all the needs of iron and copper foundries.

The perfect ratios at normal quality in 2.0, as acc: panels, are:

Nauvis, 2646 : 3125 (0.84672)
Vulcanus, 2268 : 3125 (0.72576)
Gleba, 378 : 625 (0.6048)
Fulgora, 1134 : 15625 (0.072576)
Aquilo, 378 : 15625 (0.024192)

This changes as you introduce quality to either side though. so there are many possibilities now.
