Germany: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Bremerhaven, Germany: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Bremerhaven: 999 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 40°, facing south (PVGIS). 4.3% below the median of the main cities of Germany (1,045). #171 of 193 main cities of Germany by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 10.3% less here.
Bremerhaven is in Bremen. Population 118,610 (GeoNames). 2 m above sea level. 52 km away: Oldenburg, the nearest bigger city, 988 kWh/kWp — 1.2% more here. 17.72 m between rows, pitch 21.38 m, GCR 0.22 (latitude 53.6°).

Snow and wind loads
Snow and wind loads for a site in Germany follow DIN EN 1991-1-3/NA (snow load zone, Schneelastzone) and DIN EN 1991-1-4/NA (wind zone, Windzone). Solispec computes loads by the Ukrainian DBN V.1.2-2 only, so this page shows no snow or wind values for Germany: enter the characteristic values from these documents in the designer’s «Own snow S0» and «Own wind W0» fields.
The frame calculation for such a site is preliminary: before installation it must be checked by an engineer who works to the country’s standards.
