Poland: solar plant site data
Solar power plant in Pabianice, Poland: yield, tilt angle and row spacing
Pabianice: 1,059 kWh per kWp a year at the optimal tilt of 39°, facing south (PVGIS). 0.5% below the median of the main cities of Poland (1,065). #52 of 87 main cities of Poland by yield. For comparison, Kyiv: 1,114 kWh/kWp — 4.9% less here.
Pabianice is in Łódź Voivodeship. Population 70,542 (GeoNames). 179 m above sea level. 14 km away: Lodz, the nearest bigger city, the same 1,062 kWh/kWp. 14.49 m between rows, pitch 18.21 m, GCR 0.26 (latitude 51.7°).

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.
