Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Katerynopil, Zvenyhorodskyi Raion, Cherkasy Oblast
Katerynopil: 1,140 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 36° 3° east of south (PVGIS). Exactly the oblast median (1,144). #137 of 197 in the rayon, #500 of 731 in the oblast.
Shpola, the rayon centre, is 32 km away. 130 m above sea level. 15 km away: Zvenyhorodka, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,145. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Черкаси, 97 km. 10.91 m between rows, pitch 14.78 m (latitude 48.9°).
