    If you know of companies with solar products, the New York Solar Energy Society www.nyses.org with Solar Energy Industries Association www.seia.org is developing relationships for shipping and delivering solar chargers, "suitcase" kits and systems. Please state whether owners manuals can be translated into Ukrainian. Let us know if you might be interested in raising funds for your own local GoFundMe Kickstarter type of campaign. It's possible a solar product manufacturer cannot donate but may sell at a very favorable price. 

    We decided on the portable aspects of solar during wartime and hope for peace to prevail when Ukraine will need everyone's help to replace infrastructure. There was a Ukrainian solar organization prewar. Today's donations will be very useful as suitcase kits can support patients in an ICU and simple cell phone chargers are always handy.

    I would look at allot of the companies that have used panels or refurbs to sell. The price is way lower then brand new and most of the time the utility is still 100% or close to it. Used inverters would also be a good place to look. There is an increasing stock out there from companies who's inverters cannot be used do to DER initiatives locking their equipment out of new installs, because they don't meet the latest and greatest spec, driving up prices of course. We can not have low cost solutions out there for rooftop solar. They really can not restrict the panels so they work the inverter angle.
    Anyway, I would look used because they also might be more willing to "part" with that...
