This article presents the results of an analysis of the long-term variability of average monthly and annual solar radiation in Ukraine from 2011 to 2020. The measurement data are compared with earlier periods and the standard period of 1961-1990. The statistical characteristics of changes in solar radiation are determined. The characteristics of solar radiation are compared with normative data of the National Standard of Ukraine (DSTU-NBV.1.1.-27:2010). In recent years, the annual amounts of direct radiation have increased by 18-23%. The total annual radiation in 2020 was 6% greater than in 1961-1990. Hourly and daily direct and scattered radiation were analyzed with empirical dependencies and engineering calculations. The efficiency of using the sustainable potential of solar energy depends on the climatic characteristics of the specific area or region. Inconsistencies in regulations can therefore create a problem where the best places for energy production lack public interest, infrastructure, and cost-effective consumption. Depending on the regional climatic conditions of Ukraine, the solar energy potential varies from 1400 MJ/m2 in the western regions to 1950 MJ/m2 in the eastern ones. An important characteristic of solar energy resources is the duration of sunshine. For Kyiv, the average monthly duration varies from 180 h in March to 120 h in November. The possible annual duration of sunshine varies accordingly from 4452 h (2011) to 4481 h (2020). The maximum values were observed in June (331 h) and August (334 h).
