Accelerating the green energy transition
+380 (66) 508-07-64Last week there was opening of the new solar power plant “Ivanovka-2” with a capacity of more than 3 MWp, which is provided by 11 616 solar modules (265 W each). The annual generation of electricity of Ivanovka-2 PV power plant (Ukraine, Kirovograd) is about 4000 MW-year.
Project details:
- Stage – construction completed
- Power – 3,08 MWp
- Surface – 6 ha
- Technology – multi-Si
- Structures – fixed
- Commissioning – 2016
Ivanivka-2 solar power station (photoelectric station) was built in 2016 in Novoukrains’kiy district of the Kirovohrad region. Power station occupies an area about 6 hectares, and the total power of solar panels (photoelectric modules) is over than 3 МW. This ground-mounted solar PV power station was built to increase eco-clean electric power production and further profit-making from green tariff sales. Power station is projected with application of 60 kW string invertors and 265 W poli-crystal silicon modules. All invertors are combined in three groups and further connected to complete 0,4/35 kV transformer substations.
Rentechno became the general contractor of Ivanivka-2 construction works by making it a “turn-key” project. Among the services provided there were:
- Making necessary permissions on power station construction;
- Connection to Oblenergo’s grid;
- Pre-project engineer-geological and engineer-geodesic researches;
- Solar power-station facility design;
- Purchase and delivery of necessary equipment and component parts to the construction site;
- Solar power-station construction;
- Commissioning works and adjustment work;
- Personnel instruction and training.
We also provided legal support related to the formal issues of green tariff implementation (electric power producer’s license registration, membership in Wholesale Market of electric power, expert evaluation on determination of actual proportion of local content, signing of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) on the electric power sale with Energorynok State Enterprise and obtaining NERC resolution on “green” tariff authorization).

Bringing Solar Power to The World
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.
Methods for determining the soiling assessment of solar PV arrays
Solar panels, especially those mounted on fixed structures, practically do not require complex maintenance. However, electricity generation can be significantly reduced due to surface contamination of solar panels. This article will be devoted to the study of this issue.
Cooperative Solar Farms
People interested in harvesting the sun’s energy, can now participate in a unique program – the Sol Partners Cooperative Solar Farm. One of the major advantages of the program is that United Power will maintain the solar farm – the customer only pays for the cost of the panel. It is anticipated that one 210 watt panel will produce about a 3% return on its investment or approximately $32 per year in electricity credits.
Investment in solar energy
Solar energy is another fun for rich countries and a question of the distant future, or is it a real opportunity, despite the difficult economic and political conditions of today's Ukraine, to make money now?
