Germany: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Flensburg, Germany: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Flensburg: 964 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 39°, 5° west of south (PVGIS). 7.7% below the median of the main cities of Germany (1,045). #193 of 193 main cities of Germany by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 13.4% less here.
Flensburg is in Schleswig-Holstein. Population 85,838 (GeoNames). 33 m above sea level. 69 km away: Kiel, the nearest bigger city, 990 kWh/kWp — 2.5% less here. 19.87 m between rows, pitch 23.59 m, GCR 0.20 (latitude 54.8°).

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.
