Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Metalist, Donetskyi Raion, Donetsk Oblast
Metalist: 1,164 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 35° facing south (PVGIS). Exactly the oblast median (1,161). #75 of 157 in the rayon, #593 of 1312 in the oblast.
Donetsk, the rayon centre, is 43 km away. 208 m above sea level. 37 km away: Makiyivka, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,167. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Запоріжжя, 235 km. 9.84 m between rows, pitch 13.76 m (latitude 47.8°).
