Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Ruda, Sumskyi Raion, Sumy Oblast
Ruda: 1,115 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 38° 1° east of south (PVGIS). Exactly the oblast median (1,110). #185 of 466 in the rayon, #515 of 1534 in the oblast.
Sumy, the rayon centre, is 37 km away. 187 m above sea level. 37 km away: Sumy, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,117. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Суми, 36 km. 13.15 m between rows, pitch 16.92 m (latitude 50.8°).

Yield by month
July: 144 kWh/kWp, December: 22 — 6.5 times less.
January: 34 against 36 in the oblast, 5.6% less.
| kWp | A year | July | December |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5,573 | 720 | 110 |
| 10 | 11,145 | 1,440 | 220 |
