Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Stepne, Volnovaskyi Raion, Donetsk Oblast
Stepne: 1,177 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 35° 1° east of south (PVGIS). 1.3% above the oblast median (1,161). #84 of 161 in the rayon, #288 of 1312 in the oblast.
Volnovakha, the rayon centre, is 27 km away. 148 m above sea level. 25 km away: Rozivka, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,180. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Запоріжжя, 152 km. 9.71 m between rows, pitch 13.63 m (latitude 47.6°).
