Solar power plant in San Vicente del Raspeig, Spain: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
San Vicente del Raspeig: 1,704 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 36°, 1° east of south (PVGIS). 5.5% above the median of the main cities of Spain (1,615). #19 of 147 main cities of Spain by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 53.0% more here.
San Vicente del Raspeig is in the province of Alicante, Valencian Community. Population 56,715 (GeoNames). 113 m above sea level. 7 km away: Alicante, the nearest bigger city, 1,614 kWh/kWp — 5.6% more here. 6.03 m between rows, pitch 9.90 m, GCR 0.48 (latitude 38.4°).

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.
