Greenpeace Supports Hospital in Chortkiv with Solar Power
A total of 150 solar panels, obtained through the “Solar for Ukraine” competition, have been installed to power the maternity and infectious disease wards of the Chortkiv Central City Hospital in Ternopil region.
Solar Power Stations Installation
Two grid-connected solar power stations with a combined capacity of 50 kW are now operating in Chortkiv. This is the first instance in Ukraine where women trained in the “Solar Power Plant Installer” program took part in installing municipal solar stations.
Technical Details and Impact
- The hospital received 150 solar panels and inverters as part of its victory in the “Sun for Ukraine” competition, organized by Greenpeace Ukraine and the German BIOHAUS-Stiftung foundation.
- One station supplies 30 kW to the maternity ward, while the other provides 20 kW to the infectious disease ward.
- The systems are expected to generate up to 50,000 kWh annually.
- These installations will help the hospital save more than 400,000 UAH each year on electricity expenses.
“We are proud to support Chortkiv — a city with a truly forward-looking mindset.”
