Prospects for the development of photovoltaics in Ukraine
PURPOSE: The study of the photovoltaic market in Ukraine and the determination of its
development prospects during post-war reconstruction is the main goal of our research.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The article uses a review of the information available in
the scientific literature and regulations, as well as on the Internet. The collected information
was processed using statistical methods and SWOT analysis, which made it possible to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Ukrainian photovoltaics market, while
identifying opportunities and threats to its development.FINDINGS: In the post-war period we should expect a significant development of the
photovoltaic market in Ukraine, since: geographical location of Ukraine is favorable,
significant deposits of silicon are located on the territory of Ukraine; Ukraine has a strong
scientific potential for the development of photovoltaic technologies. In addition, the
restoration of cities and villages will need to be carried out according to the principle of a
“smart” city (village), taking into account the principles of sustainable development,
including the generation of energy from renewable energy sources.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The factors that influence the functioning of the Ukrainian
photovoltaic market, which are external opportunities, and factors that negatively affect it,
the impact of which should be eliminated or at least minimized, are identified. The
advantages and disadvantages of investing in photovoltaics in Ukraine are substantiated.ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The research found that the entire territory of Ukraine is suitable for the
development of heat and power supply systems using solar energy. The development of the
photovoltaic market in Ukraine will contribute to the development of the silicon mining and
processing industry, because Ukraine has silicon reserves both to meet its own needs and for
export. The markets for related products will also develop. The development of photovoltaic
technologies can also be a driving force for the development of electromobility, which in recent years has become a priority for the development of the automotive industry, especially
in the EU. Ukraine also has the opportunity to use the infrastructure (one of the largest in
Europe) of the gas transportation system and underground gas storage facilities to develop
the photovoltaic market.peer-reviewe
