In a major development for European renewable energy, Solarpro is set to construct Hungary’s largest solar plant, a landmark 450 MW project in the country’s northern region. This ambitious undertaking will be powered by nearly 700,000 state-of-the-art solar modules from industry leader LONGi, marking a significant step forward in Hungary’s green energy transition.
A New Benchmark for the Hungary solar plant
This 450-megawatt photovoltaic plant represents a new scale of solar development in Hungary. Once operational, the facility is projected to generate approximately 470 GWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power around 106,000 households. The environmental impact will be substantial, with an estimated reduction of 415,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year—equivalent to taking more than 100,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road.
The project’s technological core consists of LONGi’s ultra-efficient Hi-MO 9 modules. These panels are at the forefront of the industry, utilizing advanced LONGi BC technology (Back-Contact) to maximize energy absorption and improve long-term performance. The design of these modules is known to reduce the risk of micro-cracking and boost yield, making them ideal for large-scale utility projects. In fact, this installation is set to become Europe’s largest solar plant featuring back-contact technology. The advanced solar panel manufacturing process behind these modules is key to achieving such high levels of efficiency and reliability.
A Proven Partnership Driving Regional Growth in the Hungary solar plant sector
This project deepens the successful collaboration between Solarpro and LONGi. The two companies previously partnered on a 176 MW project in Studina, Romania, demonstrating their shared capacity to deliver large-scale renewable energy solutions in the region.
Solarpro has established itself as a major force in the European solar market. Their work on significant projects, including the partnership to build a 240MW solar plant in Bulgaria, underscores their expertise and commitment to expanding the continent’s green energy infrastructure. Similarly, LONGi’s role as a global technology supplier is evident in projects worldwide, from Europe to Central America, as seen in the 100 MW solar power deal in Guatemala.
Fueling Hungary’s Green Energy Ambitions with the new solar plant
The timing of this project could not be better. The development of Hungary solar power has been remarkable, positioning the nation as a leader in per-capita solar production in Europe. This 450 MW plant provides a massive boost to the country’s national energy strategy, which aims for ambitious growth in renewable capacity.
This utility-scale project joins other notable green initiatives across the country, such as the innovative LEGO solar park in Hungary, collectively contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. The new plant in northern Hungary is more than just an energy project; it’s a powerful statement about the country’s commitment to achieving its climate goals and a testament to the power of international collaboration and technological innovation.
