Children's hospital in Kyiv to become energy independent thanks to German benefactors.

The Ukrainian hospital received solar panels from German patrons

The Kyiv City Children's Clinical Hospital No. 2 received solar panels for energy generation from German patrons. This was reported by the Dnipro State Administration.

The solar panels will ensure the operation of the medical facility during power outages caused by Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

After the installation of the solar panels, the children's hospital will be able to operate on solar energy. This includes lighting and equipment used in the departments of the facility, specifically the pediatrics department, trauma unit, operating block, etc., as well as in the wards. All of this will be powered by alternative energy during outages through solar panels, each with a capacity of 435 W.

As noted, the equipment was provided by Reinhart Richter and Richter Beratung companies. These same benefactors last year donated a mobile resilience point based on a modern two-section Mercedes bus, which responds quickly to emergencies and can reach any location in the area where difficulties have arisen. It is designed for over 100 people, equipped with autonomous power supply (powerful helium batteries), heating with thermal protection of windows, and satellite internet (“Starlink”).

It is worth noting that solar panels have been installed on the roofs of four medical facilities in Odesa, ensuring the operation of hospitals. This will help cover the needs during electricity shortages during blackouts and also save costs for the institutions.
