abstract = {Rooftop photovoltaic (RTPV) systems are essential for
building a decarbonized and, due to its decentralized
structure, more resilient energy system, and are
particularly important for Ukraine, where recent conflicts
have damaged more than half of its electricity and heat
supply capacity. Favorable solar irradiation conditions make
Ukraine a strong candidate for large-scale PV deployment,
but effective policy requires detailed data on spatial and
temporal generation potential. This study fills the data gap
by using open-source satellite building footprint data
corrected with high-resolution data from eastern Germany.
This approach allowed accurate estimates of rooftop area and
PV capacity and generation across Ukraine, with simulations
revealing a capacity potential of 238.8 GW and a generation
potential of 290 TWh/a excluding north-facing. The majority
of this potential is located in oblasts (provinces) across
the country with large cities such as Donetsk, Dnipro or
Kyiv and surroundings. These results, validated against
previous studies and available as open data, confirm
Ukraine's significant potential for RTPV, supporting both
energy resilience and climate goals.},
