INNOVATIVE THIN-FILM HELIOTECHNOLOGIES OF DECARBONIZATION AND ECOLOGIZATION OF MUNICIPAL ENERGY OF UKRAINE

Today, among renewable energy sources, solar power is particularly effective. It is known that solar panels are mainly (more than 95%) based on monocrystalline or polycrystalline (sometimes amorphous) silicon, as a unique semiconductor material. Its irreplaceability is explained by its prevalence in nature, at the same time, the technology of manufacturing silicon solar cells is quite complex and energy-intensive.

INFLUENCE OF MODERN TRENDS IN SOLAR ENERGY USAGE ON AESTHETIC QUALITIES OF THE CITY

Energy independence remains a priority task for most European countries. Along with traditional energy sources, more and more attention is being paid to renewable energy usage. The best solution for city residents is the use of solar energy for the local needs of individual households. However, chaotic installation of solar panels on the roofs has a negative impact on the aesthetic qualities of urban environment. Many problems as well arise during installation of panels itself on the roof structure.
