Over the past three years, Ukraine has lost dozens of gigawatts of power generation. The difficult situation prompted action to develop new scenarios for the country’s energy supply, where renewable energy sources, in particular the sun, began to play one of the main roles.
Solar generation allows you to power houses, apartments and businesses for free, but most importantly, it is publicly available. The EcoFlow brand, operating on the Ukrainian market since 2020, has become a flagship in the issue of autonomous energy supply and has provided more than 200 thousand families with backup power sources. And this is approximately 350 MW of energy.
The plans for the coming years include 440 GW, which consumers will generate themselves using stationary PowerOcean systems. Is this realistic in practice? We debunk myths, see prospects, and take a step towards savings together.
Just 10 years ago, solar energy was just starting to «get on its feet» and was an auxiliary means of providing energy to individual industries or local enterprises. However, now renewable energy sources are the world’s future.
Thus, in 2023, at the UN Climate Summit, almost 200 countries decided to gradually abandon fossil fuels and increase renewable sources.
Ukraine is also implementing this idea, as it suffers from serious energy challenges. Already in 2024, 800 MW of new photovoltaic capacity was installed, primarily thanks to private homeowners and businesses. This is not only a step towards saving on utility bills, but also reducing the load on the central energy system.
Therefore, taking care of your own energy independence is not mainstream, but a top priority for the viability of users.
The optimal solution is portable charging stations, which are distinguished by a wide range of powers (from 300 W to 4 kW) and capacities (from 256 kWh to 4 kW kWh), and among the key advantages: the ability to power up to 99% of household devices or accumulate energy for independent consumption later. In addition, portable solutions are an important component in the formation of a home mini-power station, which can be created using a microinverter, solar panels and a charging station. More details in our previous material " Home mini-power station in 3 steps: how to save on electricity use with EcoFlow PowerStream «.
However, in response to modern challenges, it is possible to choose even more «serious» solutions in terms of overall efficiency. EcoFlow has introduced an advanced new product — stationary power supply systems PowerOcean Plus, which include hybrid inverters with a capacity of 15 to 30 kW and a total capacity of 5 to 60 kWh.
The key feature of the new inverters is 4 PV inputs, each accepting 10 kW of energy, so at maximum solar generation you can get up to 40 kW of energy per hour. In numbers: one PowerOcean Plus system can generate up to 44 MW of energy per year. Accordingly, 10 thousand systems are needed to achieve the 440 GW plan.
How realistic is this in today’s conditions? The first hundreds of systems have already been installed, and we talked about the positive experience of use in the material " Innovation, environmental friendliness and functionality: TOP advantages of stationary systems of energy-independent solutions EcoFlow PowerOcean and EcoFlow PowerOcean Plus «.
Solar panels, which are key players in this story, can now produce energy even in cloudy weather and winter. So, devices from EcoFlow have an efficiency of up to 24-25%, which is the highest indicator in the specialized market.
Use the roof of your house as efficiently as possible — the more solar panels you install, the more free energy you get for your own needs.
When starting your journey to energy independence, it is worth emphasizing right away that this is work for decades to come, and therefore the payback of the system is not a matter of one day. EcoFlow has introduced the most favorable pricing policy for consumers for all kits and cooperates with leading banks on terms of deferral for the purchase of stationary systems.
«In addition, we do not forget about the so-called „green“ tariffs that operate in Ukraine. Even with the current figures, by selling electricity to the network under the Net Billing system, generated thanks to our own stationary systems, you can reduce the payback period, which is an additional advantage. I am sure that in a few years the situation will change for the better, because alternative energy is the future,» noted EcoFlow brand manager Serhiy Silin.
Therefore, your own energy independence is a profitable investment in the future, backed by manufacturer support. EcoFlow has set a precedent in the specialized market by introducing a 15-year warranty on PowerOcean Plus systems. Among other advantages:
Looking for alternative energy sources and moving towards energy independence is a personal choice. But rising tariffs and the threat of external influences force us to act now. Take a step towards saving resources and money with EcoFlow.
