Ukraine's annual solar energy volume is higher than that of Germany, one of the industry leaders. From 2018 to 2020, solar energy capacity increased nearly fivefold. As of 2024, solar power plants account for about 75% of “green” energy production in Ukraine (excluding large hydropower plants).
As of early 2024, renewable energy capacity stood at 8.7 GW. Despite the war's challenges, in 2023, DTEK Networks connected over 1,400 new RES facilities to the system, commissioning 182.3 MW of wind and approximately 500 MW of solar power plants. In 2023, Ukrainian businesses invested around USD 150 mln in solar energy.
Solar insolation in Ukraine ranges from 1100 to 1500 kWh/m², making the entire country suitable for solar power plant deployment. The southern regions of the country are optimal for operation. Approximately half of all solar power plants are concentrated in six regions: Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, and Mykolaiv.
The green tariff rate in 2024 is 0,117 euro per kWh. Private companies can implement alternative energy sources such as solar panels, wind turbines, and small hydropower plants, contributing to the sustainable development of Ukraine's energy sector. Solar energy in Ukraine is still in its early stages but has significant potential.
