Residents of the Lviv region are seriously interested in solar power plants. € 6.5 million was invested in their work.
In 2018, 179 solar panels with a capacity of 3.67 MW were put into operation in private farms of the Lviv region. Experts explain such a strong interest in alternative energy by the fact that the residents of Lviv massively adopt the experience of the EU countries, where a large-scale transition to solar panels is underway.
In addition, an energy conservation program for the population is being held in the Lviv region.
Citizens who have equipped solar panels in their home are compensated with 10% of the loan, but not more than 25 thousand UAH, said the director of the fuel and energy complex and energy conservation department of the Regional Administration of the Lviv Region Vladimir Lyalka.The alternative energy was promoted by giant enterprises that launched 20 solar and three wind power stations.
For information, the most powerful solar power plants on the planet are located in the USA.
Tower-type power plants are not so harmless. They pose a real threat to birds located near the area of concentration of sunlight. So, in California, one bird dies every 2 minutes at the Ivonpa Solar Power Station.
