LONGi
Ground frame for 10 LONGi Hi-MO 5 LR5-72HBD-545M panels (1×10)
1 row of 10 panels, 5.45 kW. The Solispec engine chose the profiles, the frame pitch and the footings for three snow and wind zones: Kherson has the lowest load of the regional centres, Cherkasy the median, Chernihiv the highest.

Checks and cautions
Member utilisation as the engine computes it. Cautions are checks that pass, but with a small margin.
- Max. frame pitch, mmThe purlins between the frames are used above 80 % (strength or deflection): the structure passes, but the margin is small. A shorter frame pitch or a deeper purlin gives more margin.Cherkasy: Frame spacing 2 200 mm, 6 frames. Purlin C-channel 60×40×2: strength 99%, deflection 85% of L/200 (snow on panel 977 Pa).

Yield
Yield: 1,139 kWh per 1 kW a year, ≈ 6,206 kWh a year in total (median zone, Cherkasy; tilt 30°, the optimum for the latitude is 35.3°).
A preliminary calculation; a design needs an engineer's check. Snow and wind per DBN V.1.2-2:2006 for the regional centre; profiles, footings and estimate by the Solispec engine 0.12.0.
