Solar industries bodies including SolarPower Europe, Germany’s BSW and Ukraine’s ASEU have joined forces to send a stream of modules, inverters and batteries to embattled Ukraine. The donations are critical as some hospitals have been without power for weeks, leaving surgeons to operate under headlamps.
The announcement was made during SolarPower Europe's annual summit in Brussels and aims to give Ukraine a steady supply solar materials.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine sparked a solar rush across Europe as people sought to combat rising costs of energy with rooftop solar. In Ukraine, however, the energy system has been bombarded, leaving schools and hospitals in desperate need of solar and battery storage systems.
Russian missile strikes frequently target energy infrastructure, ensuring power outages are commonplace nationwide. “We have seen that the war caused tremendous energy poverty among the population,” said Director of Global Affairs at SolarPower Europe Maté Heisz. “And solar can really help to alleviate this energy poverty.”
The resulting demand for backup power sparked action from SolarPower Europe, the German solar power industry associations (BSW) and Ukrainian counterpart (ASEU) to launch the Solar Supports Ukraine donation campaign.
