Poland: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Gdynia, Poland: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Gdynia: 1,026 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 41°, 3° east of south (PVGIS). 3.6% below the median of the main cities of Poland (1,065). #78 of 87 main cities of Poland by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 7.9% less here.
Gdynia is in Pomeranian Voivodeship. Population 257,000 (GeoNames). 14 m above sea level. 20 km away: Gdansk, the nearest bigger city, 1,067 kWh/kWp — 3.8% less here. 20.08 m between rows, pitch 23.69 m, GCR 0.20 (latitude 54.5°).

Yield by month
May: 135 kWh/kWp, December: 24 — 5.6 times less.
November: 30 against the median of 41 for the main cities of Poland, 26.8% less.

Snow and wind loads
Snow and wind loads for a site in Poland follow PN-EN 1991-1-3 (snow) and PN-EN 1991-1-4 (wind) with the Polish National Annex (NA). Solispec computes loads by the Ukrainian DBN V.1.2-2 only, so this page shows no snow or wind values for Poland: 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.
