New hybrid PV arrays will boost Ochmatdyt’s backup power, helping maintain critical operations during outages. The project aims to improve energy resilience for patients.
As reported by the online media Ukrinform.
In the modern medical-diagnostic building of the National Children’s Specialized Hospital “Okhmatdyt” in Kyiv, two hybrid photovoltaic stations have been installed.
According to the Ministry of Health’s website, this decision will ensure the integration of solar energy into the hospital’s operations. The total capacity of the photovoltaic modules is 75.565 kW, with inverters at 100 kW. The system is also equipped with batteries with a capacity of 92.16 kWh.
The equipment will allow the hospital to generate electricity from solar panels and store it in battery banks. This will create an additional power reserve to meet the hospital’s needs in case of power outages or situations when the capacity of its own generation is insufficient.

According to the Ministry of Health, increasing Okhmatdyt’s autonomy enables uninterrupted care for children. Every day here about 650 patients of varying ages – from one year to adolescence – from different regions come for help, and over the past year the polyclinic recorded more than 216,000 visits.
Experts report that last year Okhmatdyt performed 11,500 surgical procedures, a third of which were highly complex, rare, and unique operations.
The works were carried out within the joint project of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy, “Ray of Hope”.
Overall, under this project, by the end of the year it is planned to install solar stations at 60 healthcare facilities, and a further 200 facilities under the HEAL Ukraine program.
These steps are aimed at increasing the energy independence of medical facilities and ensuring a more stable electricity supply for patients and staff.
