An important factor in development is Ukraine's desire for energy independence from foreign suppliers. The implementation of new projects in this area will allow the industry and agriculture to develop rapidly.Renewable energy technologies will create more jobs, which will contribute to improving people's well-being.
Stages of construction of a solar power plant
To take a "place under the sun", it is necessary to take into account a combination of factors: the latitude of the area, climatic conditions, the capacity of the substation, and the possibility of using accumulated energy. The construction period of the object is on average no more than six months, and connecting it to the centralized power grid will take another one to six months. The process of installing a solar power plant includes several stages:- engineering research, site selection;
- project creation, modeling;
- equipment procurement and construction;
- commissioning.
For an industrial consumer, the payback period of power plants is five years.
Elements of a solar power plant
A typical solar panel power plant consists of three main components.
- Photovoltaic module - panels made of crystalline silicon, combined in a frame of aluminum profile. Modules are interconnected into a single system and mounted on racks or placed on a flat roof. The service life of the structure is about 30 years, after which it can be used further, but its efficiency drops (it gives less energy).
- Charge controller - a device that accepts AC electrical energy. It regulates the flow of energy and battery charging processes. The warranty period for the controller is 10 years.
- Inverter - the task of this device is to convert the DC voltage of the battery to AC. With a 20% power reserve, the device works for at least 10 years.
Benefits of using renewable energy sources
Renewable energy sources are not depleted and, unlike earth's fossil resources, will always exist, exceeding the needs of modern society.
Alternative energy has undeniable advantages:
- environmental friendliness - no harmful substances or greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere;
- technology is accessible and effective practically in any region;
- economy - simultaneously with the development of this technology, costs for paying energy resources will be reduced;
- new technologies will create many jobs and new specialties.
