Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Popova Balka, Donetskyi Raion, Donetsk Oblast
Popova Balka: 1,164 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 35° facing south (PVGIS). Exactly the oblast median (1,161). #76 of 157 in the rayon, #595 of 1312 in the oblast.
Donetsk, the rayon centre, is 44 km away. 226 m above sea level. 38 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. 9.83 m between rows, pitch 13.75 m (latitude 47.8°).
