NURE is taking an essential step towards energy independence and sustainable development by implementing a project to install solar panels on campus. This initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact, reduce energy costs, and increase the university’s energy efficiency.
According to Acting Rector Ihor Ruban, the project is part of the university’s strategy to switch to renewable energy sources. ‘Despite the war, we strive to ensure the continuity of the educational process, the stable functioning university departments even in blackouts, and to demonstrate how to combine education, science, and practical solutions to combat climate change,’ he said.
The solar panels installed on one of the university’s building roofs are expected to cover up to 65% of its energy needs, significantly reducing the building’s dependence on traditional energy sources.
The system has a generation capacity of 23.6 kW and an energy storage capacity of 40 kWh.

It consists of: 40 Jinko JKM590N-72HL4-V solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, 12 Dyness Tower T21 LiFePO4 6x HV9637 high-capacity batteries that store energy for later use, Deye SUN 20k SGD1HP3-EU-AM2 hybrid inverters, control modules and other components that allow the system to provide uninterrupted power. The project also has an educational component: students and staff will be able to participate in research related to the production and use of solar energy. That opens up new opportunities for scientific cooperation and training specialists in renewable energy.
The university’s environmental initiative has received support from the Ministry of Education and Science and the international organisations that fund the project. According to experts, solar panel installation will allow the university to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which is essential to the fight against global warming.
NURE plans to continue developing other environmental initiatives to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
This project emphasises the university’s responsibility to society and nature and inspires other organisations to follow suit.
