130 Ukraine's geographic conditions are favorable for the use of solar energy, as the country receives significant amounts of solar heat throughout the year. This enables the deployment of modern photovoltaic technologies throughout the entire territory, ensuring efficient electricity generation in all seasons [9]. The development of domestic production of photovoltaic devices supports not only energy security, but also scientific and technological progress of the country. The availability of a raw material base and the necessary industrial capacity allows Ukraine not only to meet its own needs but also to develop export opportunities in this sector. Innovations in solar energy, particularly reduced equipment costs and improved technologies, are paving the way for further production growth. The implementation of new projects and the expansion of existing capacities can significantly increase the contribution of green energy to the overall energy balance of Ukraine. In general, the development of solar energy is a key element in the modernization of the country's energy system. Given modern challenges and the need for sustainable energy supply, this area offers prospects not only for economic growth but also for environmental protection. The war erupted in Ukraine has posed a serious challenge to the country's entire energy system. The traditional infrastructure, which was largely based on centralized energy sources — gas, coal, and nuclear power — has sustained extensive destruction. Damage to power plants, transmission lines, and gas pipelines resulted in numerous outages, negatively impacting the stability of energy supplies, especially in areas of active hostilities. In this context, renewable energy has proven to be not only an alternative but a strategic necessity. Small, autonomous solar and wind power plants provide local communities with electricity even in cases of disruptions to centralized supply. For example, in some frontline regions of Ukraine, local residents deploy autonomous solar panels, which help them meet basic electricity needs such as lighting, charging communication devices, and heating.
