Germany: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Regensburg, Germany: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Regensburg: 1,112 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 37°, facing south (PVGIS). 6.4% above the median of the main cities of Germany (1,045). #27 of 193 main cities of Germany by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: the same 1,114 kWh/kWp.
Regensburg is in Bavaria. Population 151,389 (GeoNames). 341 m above sea level. 89 km away: Nuremberg, the nearest bigger city, 1,071 kWh/kWp — 3.8% more here. 11.23 m between rows, pitch 15.05 m, GCR 0.32 (latitude 49.0°).

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.
