Germany: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Euskirchen, Germany: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Euskirchen: 1,093 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 40°, 4° east of south (PVGIS). 4.6% above the median of the main cities of Germany (1,045). #40 of 193 main cities of Germany by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 1.9% less here.
Euskirchen is in North Rhine-Westphalia. Population 54,889 (GeoNames). 164 m above sea level. 23 km away: Bonn, the nearest bigger city, 1,043 kWh/kWp — 4.8% more here. 13.61 m between rows, pitch 17.27 m, GCR 0.28 (latitude 50.7°).

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.
