Solar energy in Ukraine 2026: statistics and figures

Short, dated and sourced: how much solar Ukraine has, how much it generates, what is happening with home PV and the green tariff. Every number comes from an official or primary source on the date of the page; nothing here is unsourced.

The figures

  1. 5,500 MW — installed PV capacity of Ukraine at the end of 2024 as estimated by IRENA (after 8,062 MW in 2021–2023; the drop is IRENA’s revision for lost capacity) (IRENA, Renewable Capacity Statistics 2025, 2024)
  2. 841 → 8,062 MW — growth of installed PV capacity 2015–2021: 841, 955, 1,200, 2,003, 5,936, 7,331, 8,062 MW (IRENA, Renewable Capacity Statistics 2025, 2015–2021)
  3. ×3 in a year — the biggest yearly jump was 2019: from 2,003 to 5,936 MW (IRENA, Renewable Capacity Statistics 2025, 2019)
  4. 8,046 GWh — solar generation in 2023 — 8 % of the country’s electricity (IRENA, Energy Profile Ukraine, 2023)
  5. 27 % — the share of solar in Ukraine’s total installed generating capacity in 2024 (5,500 of 20,225 MW) (IRENA, Energy Profile Ukraine, 2024)
  6. 11 % — capacity utilisation of solar plants in 2023 (IRENA, Energy Profile Ukraine, 2023)
  7. 11 % — the share of renewables in Ukraine’s electricity generation in 2025 (NEURC (НКРЕКП), 2025)
  8. 78 % — the share of solar plants in all renewable generation in 2025 (NEURC (НКРЕКП), 2025)
  9. 20.4 % — the share of renewables in the installed capacity of the power system, households included (2025) (NEURC (НКРЕКП), 2025)
  10. 748 MW — new renewable capacity commissioned by private households during 2025 (NEURC (НКРЕКП), 2025)
  11. 101 plants / 658 MW — moved to the market premium (FIP) in 2025 — 40 % more than in 2024 (NEURC (НКРЕКП), 2025)
  12. 91 / 469 MW — generating units on the market premium as of 1 January 2025 (NEURC, brochure to the 2024 report, 2025)

  14. 1,621.65 GWh — electricity sold by households under the green tariff in 2024 (NEURC, brochure to the 2024 report, 2024)
  15. 1 January 2030 — the green tariff for households and businesses is set until this date (Ministry of Energy, report on RES support schemes, 2025)
  16. ≈350 / over 70 MW — active consumers connected to the distribution grids during 2024 (Ministry of Energy, report on RES support schemes, 2024)
  17. 33 MW / 250 MW — auction support quotas for 2025 for solar and wind (plus 47 MW for biomass, biogas and small hydro) (Ministry of Energy, report on RES support schemes, 2025)
  18. 480,000 hryvnias / 10 years — the ceiling and term of the state soft loan for a household hybrid PV system of 1–10 kW with storage (CMU resolution No. 673) (Ministry of Energy, report on RES support schemes, 2024)
  19. > 39,000 / > 1 GW — households with PV plants and their total capacity at the end of Q3 2021 (Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, 2021)
  20. 6,031 / 121 MW — households with PV as of 30 September 2018 — for comparison with 2021 (State Agency on Energy Efficiency, 2018)
  21. 04:00–23:00 / 06:00–21:00 — the hours in which active consumers’ electricity is bought at the green tariff (April–October / November–March); the condition is at least 10 kWh of own consumption a month (NEURC (НКРЕКП), 2026)
  22. 1,114 kWh/kWp — yearly output of 1 kW of panels in Kyiv by PVGIS (38° tilt, south, 14 % losses, SARAH3 2005–2023) (PVGIS (JRC), 2005–2023)
  23. 1,086 kWh/kWp — the same for Lviv (39° tilt) (PVGIS (JRC), 2005–2023)
  24. 1,264 kWh/kWp — the same for Odesa (37° tilt) — the south gives 14 % more than Kyiv (PVGIS (JRC), 2005–2023)
