Abstract: Solar energy relations are relatively new for Ukraine, which is why the legal regulation of the use of solar energy as an alternative source has been actively developed during the last two decades of the last century and demonstrates the change in the energy development paradigm.The relatively higher environmental friendliness of solar energy was one of the factors that determined the special interest of the state in the priority legal stimulation of solar energy.The foundations for the development of alternative energy generation in Ukraine, including solar, were laid by the adoption of two basic Laws of Ukraine: "On Energy-Saving" and "On Energy Industry".To support the development of solar energy and ensure energy conservation in general, government decrees approved the Comprehensive State Energy Saving Program of Ukraine dated February 5, 1997 1 , as well as the Program of State Support for the Development of Non-Traditional and Renewable Energy Sources and Small Hydro-and Thermal Power Generation dated December 31, 1997 2 .However, these documents did not play a significant role in the development of solar energy due to their general nature and lack of clear mechanisms for their implementation.A special role in the development of solar energy belongs to the Law of Ukraine "On Alternative Energy Sources" dated February 20, 2003 and the legal mechanism of the "green" tariff.The dynamic development of industry legislation regulating the functioning of alternative energy has had a significant impact on the effectiveness of legal regulation of the development and stimulation of solar 1 Про Комплексну державну програму енергозбереження України: постанова Кабінету Міністрів України від 5 лютого 1997
