Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Sula, Sumskyi Raion, Sumy Oblast
Sula: 1,120 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 38° 2° east of south (PVGIS). 1.0% above the oblast median (1,110). #113 of 466 in the rayon, #381 of 1534 in the oblast.
Sumy, the rayon centre, is 22 km away. 189 m above sea level. 22 km away: Sumy, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,117. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Суми, 22 km. 13.19 m between rows, pitch 16.96 m (latitude 50.8°).
