  • About the “green” tariff and the legislative transformations of the RE market.

Several quotes:

  • “Production of solar panels is a technologically rather simple production, in which it is very difficult to win the intellectual struggle with China, there are other scales. But the use of intellectual work by Ukrainians in the development of inverter equipment is promising. “
