Solar plant: site data

Solar power plant in Zarya, Kurmanskyi Raion, Autonomous Republic of Crimea

Zarya: 1,263 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 35° facing south (PVGIS). 1.6% below the oblast median (1,284). #80 of 126 in the rayon, #833 of 1025 in the oblast.

Kurman, the rayon centre, is 17 km away. 30 m above sea level. 17 km away: Kurman, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,262. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Херсон, 195 km. 8.50 m between rows, pitch 12.42 m (latitude 45.5°).
