看到俄罗斯 - 乌克兰冲突对经济的影响，欧洲已决定将太阳能的概念扩展到大规模。它提出了一项发展计划，将太阳能电池板整合到2030年的所有新建欧洲建筑中。每天耗资1亿美元，并观察其与俄罗斯的外交关系，它已经定居于太阳能电池板的部署以产生自己的能源。为了实现这一里程碑，它提出了“太阳能屋顶计划”其中指出，应在2029年之前必须在公共和商业建筑的屋顶上安装太阳能电池板，包括住宅建筑。
再加上这一点，太阳能屋顶计划将着重于敦促人们希望尽快在建筑物的屋顶上安装太阳能电池板。政府本身将监督整个情况，包括商业和私人建筑所有者在内的公众必须遵循它。Moreover, the European Commission said in a statement, “There is a double urgency to transform Europe’s energy system: ending the EU’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels, which are used as an economic and political weapon and cost European taxpayers nearly €100 billion per year, and tackling the climate crisis.”
该计划的重点是从长远来看降低成本，消除对俄罗斯对任何能源的依赖，并通过提供绿色计划来捕获未来的市场份额。预测，这个太阳能电池板的屋顶项目将为欧盟的电力消耗提供约25％的能源，并能够在2025年底将320吉瓦的太阳能带到欧洲。
Hence, Frans Timmermans, who is leading the commission’s work on the European Green Deal, said, “It is clear we need to put an end to this dependence [on Russian fossil fuels] as soon as possible and a lot faster than we had foreseen before this war. In March, we showed it could be done, and the European Council in Versailles decided it should be done. Today we show how it will be done.”
