Despite only actively developing over the past decade, solar energy accounts for over 5% of Ukraine's total electricity generation, ranking it 8th in Europe for installed PV capacity. The war in Ukraine has further underscored the importance of solar energy for the country's energy security and resilience.
Figures from the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (SEAU) earlier this year showed that the country added around 850MW of solar PV capacity in 2024, the majority of which came from self-consumption systems installed by businesses. It's “become a trend”, Semenyshyn says.
According to the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine, 62 industrial solar power plants with a total installed capacity of more than 950 MW are now in the occupied territories. This needs to consider a significant number of small domestic PVPPs (with a capacity of up to 30 kW).
The most efficient photovoltaic power plant, where the generation is 40% higher with the help of biaxial trackers compared to average Ukrainian PV power plants (where PV modules are fixed statically), is the 2.5 MW tracker PV power plant Solar Park Pidhorodne.
