Integration of Solar Energy Systems into Motor Transport Enterprises to Ensure Energy Autonomy, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Friendliness

The need to increase energy efficiency and energy autonomy of motor transport enterprises in the conditions of the modern energy crisis caused by both armed aggression against Ukraine and global climate change is substantiated. The strategic importance of introducing renewable energy sources, in particular solar energy systems, to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of transport sector enterprises is highlighted. The design features of the use of solar canopies based on parking lots are analyzed, taking into account current building codes and requirements for the infrastructure of charging stations. It is established that the implementation of such solutions not only contributes to increasing energy sustainability, but also ensures a reduction in operating costs, an improvement in the environmental balance, and the adaptation of enterprises to modern challenges in the field of energy supply. The results obtained can be used in the development of motor transport enterprises modernization programs and the formation of regional strategies for the development of sustainable mobility. The prospects of using energy storage devices to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic systems during off-peak hours are noted. The feasibility of combining local RES solutions with digital energy monitoring and management systems to achieve maximum energy efficiency is emphasized. By identifying and eliminating heat losses, automating energy consumption control, modernizing lighting and water supply systems, and using alternative heat sources (solid fuel boilers, solar collectors), enterprises can achieve sustainable and environmentally balanced operation. This approach not only reduces dependence on centralized energy sources, but also creates the basis for the development of innovative energy infrastructure in the face of modern challenges.
