129 Furthermore, maintaining ecological balance requires a radical reduction in the use of fossil fuels, particularly coal, which significantly contributes to air pollution and climate change. At the same time, nuclear energy, which had the potential to meet global energy needs over the long term, is now viewed with great caution due to the high risk of accidents and their catastrophic environmental consequences. In the face of these challenges, the active deployment of renewable energy sources that harness natural processes directly or indirectly dependent on solar energy is particularly important. The use of solar, wind, biogas, geothermal, and other clean resources not only ensures the stability of energy supply but also significantly reduces the environmental burden on the planet. Thus, the further development and scaling of renewable technologies is becoming an integral component of the energy strategy of the future, capable of ensuring environmental security, energy independence, and humanity's resilience to global challenges. Ukraine's renewable energy potential has shown rapid growth in recent years. Thanks to active government support and public interest, the country has become one of the leaders in green energy, particularly in solar power. This demonstrates a growing awareness of the need to diversify energy sources and reduce dependence on traditional carbon-based resources. A key indicator of the sector's sustainable development is the number of households installing solar panels. The doubling of this number in just one year reflects the popularity and accessibility of the technology for the general population. Moreover, the total installed capacity of solar power plants has increased significantly, positively impacting the country's overall energy system. However, political and military events, particularly the war, have caused significant problems for the development of energy infrastructure. Disruption of the normal functioning of enterprises, destruction of facilities and economic losses have become a serious challenge for the renewable energy sector, requiring quick recovery and support measures.
