In January-March 2019, 1,393 Ukrainian households installed PV modules with a total capacity of 33 MW, Director of the renewable energy department of the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine Yuriy Shafarenko has written on his Facebook page.
According to him, thus, by the beginning of April their total number reached 8,850 families, and the total installed capacity was 190 MW, which is about 20% more than it was at the beginning of the year.
The capacity of home solar power plants is an average of 21.5 kW per family.
The largest number of plants was installed in Dnipropetrovsk (1,072 families, 25 MW), Kyiv (904, 25 MW), Ternopil (808, 21 MW), Ivano-Frankivsk (50, 13 MW) and Kirovohrad regions (562, 15 MW). Shafarenko said that the greatest activity is observed in those regions where local support programs are in effect, providing for compensation of a part of the cost of equipment (from 10% to 30%).
As reported, the number of Ukrainian households that installed PV panels in 2018 more than doubled (by 4,500) and reached 7,500; the total capacity of the equipment installed by them reached 157 MW by the end of 2018.
