The mayor of Brovary remindedthat the first traffic light facility was equipped with an autonomous source of energy back in December 2022. At that time, solar panels with batteries and an inverter were installed at one of the busiest intersections in the city: Kyivska, Vyacheslav Chornovil, and Heroiv Ukrayiny streets. The cost of the work was about UAH 365 thousand.
In June and July of this year, according to Ihor Sapozhko, inverters and batteries were installed at the intersections of Kyivska and Chornykh Zaporozhets, Kyivska and Yaroslav Mudryi, Kyivska and Symon Petliura, Kyivska and Heroiv Ukrayiny, Kyivska and Taras Shevchenko streets.
The estimated cost for each of these facilities was about UAH 80 thousand.
