Demand for residential solar power storage surges in Ukraine

Due to the war, over 80% of Ukraine's power plants have been severely damaged, including its largest hydroelectric power station. In the capital, Kyiv, most buildings and residents face 10-12 hours of power outages daily. Furthermore, with the arrival of winter, electricity demand increases, leading to a sharp rise in residential electricity prices. Currently, nationwide power rationing is in effect.

To address the power shortage and rebuild the power system, residential solar-energy storage systems can be quickly assembled and put into use. Currently, the cost of solar-energy storage has decreased significantly, making it an effective way to solve the problem of power supply and high electricity costs for Ukrainian residents. Demand for solar-energy storage products is gradually exploding. Simultaneously, the Ukrainian government has exempted import tariffs and VAT on photovoltaic modules, solar inverters, and energy storage batteries during the war (until January 2026). The government is also providing zero-interest loans through banks, covering up to 80% of procurement costs, to encourage installation. These measures have further fueled the continued surge in demand for photovoltaic products in Ukraine.
