GoodWe Energy Storage Solutions Empower Continuity of Education at Bobryk Gymnasium in Ukraine

The Bobryk Gymnasium in the Kyiv region marks the eleventh school to benefit from this initiative that aims to secure energy supply for students during power outages. The program to guarantee energy independence for schools was initiated by the Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation, a charity that is working with international corporations, NGO’s and authorities. The system at the Bobryk Gymnasium was installed in collaboration with multiple partners and inaugurated in late January 2025.

The installation at the school is comprised of 42.3 kWp of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, combined with GoodWe ET Series hybrid inverters and Lynx F Series batteries with 29.7 kWh of storage capacity. The system, integrated with GoodWe’s SEMS monitoring platform, provides up to 4 hours of backup power during blackouts, ensuring a continuous learning environment for students without disruption. Bobryk Gymnasium is expected to save up to EUR 6000 annually on electricity costs, freeing up funds for other essential needs. Over the next 25 years, the system will reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 635 tons, supporting Ukraine’s environmental goals.

GoodWe is further expanding their local presence in Ukraine, demonstrating the company’s dedication to the country’s renewable energy transition. By collaborating with local partners, GoodWe aims to expand their impact on sustainable development in the region.

“At GoodWe, we believe in the transformative power of technology to create lasting change,” said Jie Zhang, Managing Director of GoodWe Europe. “Our part in the #100SolarSchools Project reinforces our commitment not only to the growing market in Ukraine, but to our values regarding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics. By supporting these projects with our partners, we aim to inspire others to build a more sustainable and resilient future for all.”

“Energy independence means more than just power; it’s about empowering communities,” added Alexia Coulon, President of we@voltalia Association. “We hope this story will inspire more companies to support renewable energy projects and contribute to positive, lasting change.”
