Dmytro Lukomskyi, the CEO of Avenston, an investor and top manager who got the Person of the Year award in the Eastern European sustainable energy industry at SEF Awards 2018 and SEF Awards 2019, covered for LDaily readers the issues of solar energy and their causes, as well as proposed solutions that will help the industry get out of the crisis.

Avenston specialists compared the main characteristics of PV modules produced by ten largest world manufacturers on the Ukrainian market.

Renewable energies have experienced a massive surge in growth, popularity, and also necessity in recent years. The global warming crisis is not going away, and the constant overuse of non-renewable energy sources is fast depleting the human race of what it needs to survive. Renewables can solve that problem, but it takes true innovators and visionaries to make it happen.

Over the past few years, the PV modules technology changed dramatically. Today we have a complex market with various parameters and properties of solar panels. We prepared useful material that will help potential investors not to make mistakes.

Solar modules cost reduction led to solar power plant demand increase. Enterprises increase the profitability of products by installing solar power plants for self-consumption to power supply equipment, lighting fixtures, and others.

High-quality operation and maintenance (O&M) are one of the main ways to ensure the most highly efficient operation of a solar power plant. AVENSTON prepared an overview of the major malfunctions and their impact on solar power plant performance.

Weather systems result in strong variability in the available solar radiation across the day. This means that solar plant power output is impacted, with strong changes in energy generation across the day. As Ukraine adds more solar energy to its electricity grid, it is becoming important to predict these changes in energy generation from hours to days ahead.

Reducing the cost of EV-batteries and ESS will reduce the cost of electric cars, and the presence of a charging station network with ESS and PV-modules will solve the problem of generation balance at all levels and to green the use of electric vehicles.
