Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Stepne, Starobilskyi Raion, Luhansk Oblast
Stepne: 1,140 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 37° facing south (PVGIS). 0.9% below the oblast median (1,150). #105 of 201 in the rayon, #698 of 964 in the oblast.
Starobilsk, the rayon centre, is 54 km away. 194 m above sea level. 54 km away: Starobilsk, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,140. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Харків, 225 km. 11.79 m between rows, pitch 15.61 m (latitude 49.7°).
