In Boryslav, Lviv region, a rooftop solar power plant was installed by doctors at the expense of Ukrnafta (UAH 1 million) and batteries for it at the expense of the community (UAH 835 thousand).
The power of the solar power plant is 30 kW, and the capacity of the battery is 40 kWh, the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, Housing and Utilities reports on Facebook.
It is noted that the solar power plant was put into operation in January. Under favorable weather conditions, it is able to fully provide the hospital with electricity and supply it to the grid.
