Spain: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
San Cristóbal de La Laguna: 1,760 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 25°, 4° west of south (PVGIS). 8.9% above the median of the main cities of Spain (1,615). #5 of 147 main cities of Spain by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 57.9% more here.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna is in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. Population 150,661 (GeoNames). 558 m above sea level. 7 km away: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the nearest bigger city, the same 1,757 kWh/kWp. 2.90 m between rows, pitch 7.24 m, GCR 0.66 (latitude 28.5°).

Snow and wind loads
Snow and wind loads for a site in Spain follow CTE DB SE-AE (Spain’s Código Técnico de la Edificación) and, where the Eurocodes are applied, UNE-EN 1991-1-3 and UNE-EN 1991-1-4 with the Spanish National Annex. Solispec computes loads by the Ukrainian DBN V.1.2-2 only, so this page shows no snow or wind values for Spain: 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.
