197 emphasize the need to integrate local computational resources and analytical algorithms to ensure agile management of grid with a high share of rooftop PV systems and other distributed generators. Therefore, maximizing the potential of rooftop photovoltaic systems in Ukraine requires more than technical assessment of available rooftop areas and generation capacity. It is also important to implement innovative digital solutions that will ensure the efficient, safe and reliable functioning of a decentralized energy grid adapted to the challenges of the ongoing global energy transition. Effective management of such a distributed system requires technologies capable of rapid data processing and making decisions in real time. In this context, the use of Edge AI becomes particularly important, as it enables computations to be performed directly on local devices, reducing data transmission latency and enhancing system responsiveness. This approach optimizes energy flows and promptly adapts electricity production and consumption to changes in load and external conditions. Autonomous control algorithms implemented using Edge AI facilitate decentralized decision-making in resource allocation, balance supply and demand, and enhance the overall stability of energy grid. Furthermore, intelligent systems can predict potential equipment failures and automate maintenance processes, significantly increasing infrastructure reliability. Such solutions are particularly relevant for grids with a high share of distributed generation, where traditional centralized control methods prove to be insufficiently flexible. The convergence of decentralized energy systems with advanced artificial intelligence technologies opens new possibilities for transforming the energy sector. The use of Edge AI enhances grid efficiency, resilience and flexibility, enables the integration of large volumes of renewable energy sources, and fosters the emergence of 'prosumers'—active participants who both consume and generate electricity. This transformation addresses global challenges related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring energy security.
