Dziadykevych Yu.V., Buriak M.V., Lubezna I.V. DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY IN UKRAINE
Purpose. The aim of the article is to study aspects of solar energy in Ukraine in order to increase the savings of fossil energy sources and energy security of the country.
Methodology of research. The methodological basis of the study is the dialectical method of scientific knowledge. The general scientific and special methods of research are used, namely: the abstract and logical method is used in the outline of the main factors that influence the development of solar energy in Ukraine; with the help of a deductive method, the directions which contribute to the increase of the saving of fossil energy sources are analyzed; on the basis of the synthesis of scientific sources devoted to the problem of the use of solar energy, the factors that influence the process of the introduction of solar energy into production and everyday life are determined, as well as provide an opportunity to introduce innovations aimed at the development, creation of new types of technologies and organizational forms of production, which promotes ensuring the competitiveness of the products of enterprises both on the domestic and foreign markets.
Findings. It has been established that the construction of solar power plants in Ukraine took place mainly during 2011-2017, which contributed to the introduction of a number of solar power plants during this period, which enabled to improve the supply of electricity demand and at the same time become consumers independent of generating companies and external conditions.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) concluded that the increased use of solar energy in the period up to 2030 will reduce the overall cost of the Ukrainian energy system, will have a positive impact on the environment and the health of the population.
It is determined that the development of solar energy in our country can be considered as the leader of innovations in the energy sector, as Ukraine offers attractive opportunities for international investors. Government policy in the field of solar energy contributes to the creation of a more decentralized, distributed, secure and sustainable electricity generation network.
This will ensure the competitiveness of domestic and foreign markets.
Originality. It is proved that the main goal of solar energy is to bring the energy industry of the country to a new high-quality level.
Practical value. The introduction of high-energy and environmentally friendly energy sources into production processes will increase the efficiency of their work.
Key words: solar energy; solar panels; energy resources; renewable energy sources; solar power plants; payback period of investments.
