Solar power plant in Koszalin, Poland: yield, tilt angle and row spacing

Koszalin: 1,019 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 40°, facing south (PVGIS). 4.3% below the median of the main cities of Poland (1,065). #80 of 87 main cities of Poland by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 8.6% less here.

Koszalin is in West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Population 107,450 (GeoNames). 30 m above sea level. 136 km away: Szczecin, the nearest bigger city, 1,007 kWh/kWp — 1.1% more here. 18.97 m between rows, pitch 22.63 m, GCR 0.21 (latitude 54.2°).

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.
