How much solar energy will be needed to be converted and then used to power a quarry?

Sorry there is probably already a thread about this. I'm using an IC consumer hooked up to an energy bridge to a BC producer to power the quarry but how much solar power will I need using this set up to power the quarry efficiently? One Medium voltage array? Two?

Quarries use up to 32 MJ/t now I think, so as long as you get 1MJ/t in there, any more will just speed it up.

This lists the energy requirements for a BC Quarry. 2 MJ = 5 EU as per the energy bridge. A single MV array would produce 64 EU/t, would be about 25 MJ/t. Slap on two redstone energy conduits (one set to input the other to output) and it would run at a decent rate. Two MV arrays would cap out the quarry's input, movement, and dig speed.

vvvvvvv

You're right, having the producer right up against the quarry, then there is no reason for any sort of conduit.

The conversion rate from EU to MJ is 2.5:1 in non-lossy systems.

Quarries will never blow up, but will not get any speed boost past a smidge over 48 MJ/t which yields about 5 blocks/second harvest rate.
