Today, Ukraine is on the path toward European integration, making the development of alternative energy extremely important. A priority area of the institution’s activity is the training of specialists in the field of renewable energy. In 2019, a training and practical center was established for the profession “Electrician for Repair and Maintenance of Solar Power Installations”, and in 2025, within the framework of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine’s project #100_Workshops, a Center for Electrotechnical Technologies and Renewable Energy was opened.
Specialists are currently being trained in the professions “Installation and Maintenance Technician for Renewable Energy Systems” and “Electrician-Fitter for Electrical Equipment Repair.”
On the premises of the institution, there is a European-style East-West solar power station, a sun-tracking system, a three-row ground-mounted solar station with a book-style panel layout and a static tilt angle. A total of 99 RISEN 550 solar panels have been installed to supply the training building with self-produced electricity.
The planned annual generation of the institution’s solar power stations is between 35,000 and 37,000 kilowatt-hours.
In addition, a solar thermal system based on solar radiation has been installed with a capacity of about 8.7 kW, using flat and vacuum solar collectors for water heating (heat carrier).
This allows students to study energy-saving technologies and the principles of energy management in practice.
