STATUS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF PRODUCTION AND SALE OF SOLAR ENERGY

The article is devoted to the analysis of the modern post-war state of legal regulation of the production and sale of solar energy in Ukraine, namely the public-law aspects of the relevant sphere of legislation. The national legislation on solar energy was evaluated and it was found that since the introduction of martial law at the state level, a number of important actions have been taken in the direction of reforming and developing the legislative framework in the field of production and sale of solar energy. The problems of public and legal support for the development of solar energy are traced. The system of legal protection of solar energy requires changes in the part of tax and customs legislation regarding the legislative stimulation of the development of solar energy. The need to develop a national strategy for the development of alternative energy, in particular solar energy, as a tool for replacing and modernizing the outdated Soviet energy infrastructure, which suffered as a result of the aggression of the Russian Federation, is proven. The "green" tariff needs revision, which is due to pre-war legislative changes in terms of reducing the size of the "green" tariff. Attention is focused specifically on the public legal mechanisms of legal regulation of relations in the field of production and sale of solar energy. The modern post-war state of legal relations in the relevant field is highlighted, and problems in the functioning mechanism of the relevant market are identified. Proposals have been put forward regarding the unification of state and legal influence on the field of solar energy production and its implementation. Taking into account the previous experience of the operation of the solar energy market, it is proposed to form state principles of stimulating support for the implementation of technologies for saving generated energy using energy storages. The studied international legal obligations confirm the need for a state role in the field of fulfilling the accepted international obligations in the field of energy and the vector of potential accession to the European Union, the development of a legislative and regulatory framework that does not aim to reduce the dependence of the national economy on energy produced from fossil fuels resources.
