Germany: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Greifswald, Germany: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Greifswald: 1,032 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 40°, facing south (PVGIS). 1.2% below the median of the main cities of Germany (1,045). #117 of 193 main cities of Germany by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 7.4% less here.
Greifswald is in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Population 52,731 (GeoNames). 2 m above sea level. 32 km away: Stralsund, the nearest bigger city, the same 1,032 kWh/kWp. 18.75 m between rows, pitch 22.41 m, GCR 0.21 (latitude 54.1°).

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.
