Solar plant: site data
Solar power plant in Menchykury, Melitopolskyi Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast
Menchykury: 1,220 kWh per kWp a year, tilt 36° 2° east of south (PVGIS). 0.6% above the oblast median (1,212). #181 of 215 in the rayon, #331 of 972 in the oblast.
Melitopol, the rayon centre, is 50 km away. 75 m above sea level. 11 km away: Vesele, the nearest bigger centre, the same 1,216. Snow and wind from the nearest regional centre in the DBN — Запоріжжя, 89 km. 9.60 m between rows, pitch 13.47 m (latitude 47.1°).
