SolarSatu MareRomania

Doba is a 6 MW solar power plant in Satu Mare, Romania. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2,510 homes (estimated). It ranks #59 of 68 Romania power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, solar supplies about 9.8% of Romania's electricity; the national grid averages 251 gCO₂/kWh (67.5% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 47.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 22% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 63/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 0.0% at warm-season highs here (estimate).
