DTEK Dnipro Grids is the leader in connecting home PV systems to the grids in Ukraine. Now there are 5,182 prosumers in the Dnipropetrovsk region - households that produce environmentally friendly electricity and support not only their own needs, but also sell the excess to the grid. The energy company tells in which areas they switch to green generation most often. And they explain how to arrange the connection of solar panels at home to save and earn money thanks to the green tariff.

According to the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving, there are more than 35,000 households in Ukraine, the country's first prosumers*, that produce and consume energy. The largest number of them are connected to DTEK Dnipro Grids.

“DTEK cares about the future of Ukraine, and promotes the connection of green generation facilities, so that every customer can benefit from it. Every year, the number of home solar systems almost doubles in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Since the beginning of 2021, we have already connected another 1,165 home PV systems to the grids. In total, more than 5,000 families use renewable energy sources in the region. They use some of the generated electricity, and sell the excess to the grid, thus earning money on the green tariff," says Andrii Tereshchuk, Director General at DTEK Dnipro Grids.

Most often, people switch to green generation in Novomoskovsk (745 home PV systems) and Nikopol districts (689), as well as in the city of Kryvyi Rih (619) of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

The maximum capacity for a home PV system is 30 kW. Usually about 10-20% of this capacity is sufficient for own needs. Customers sell the excess to the grids at a green rate.

2 contracts are required to install the home PV system: one with DTEK Dnipro Grids, and the other with a supplier. You should also check the capacity of the generating installation: it should not exceed 30 kW. Otherwise, apply for an increase in capacity. After installation:

  • Contact the customer service center having the package of required documents;
  • Fill out the application form;
  • Have the installation checked;
  • Install a meter of the appropriate type (with a GSM modem and the ability to meter consumed and generated electricity);
  • Amend contracts for the supply and distribution of electrical energy;
