New feed-in tariffs for solar PV power entered into force in Hungary at the beginning of 2017 and, combined with action (tender) procedure, are expected to pave the way for the fast growth of Hungary''s solar photovoltaic energy market.
Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2023 Hungary had just over 5.8 GW of photovoltaics capacity, a massive increase from a decade prior. Relatedly, solar power accounted for 18.4% of the country''s electricity generation in 2023, up from less than 0.1% in 2010.
The proposal is to give investors the opportunity to sell solar energy and equipment and have a direct impact on prices. The market forecast for Hungary''s solar power market is expected to have a growth rate of over 4% from 2020 to 2025.
Solar potential in Hungary. Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2023 Hungary had just over 5.8 GW of photovoltaics capacity, a massive increase from a decade prior. [1]
Feed-in tariffs for solar PV power entered into force in Hungary at the beginning of 2017 and, combined with the auction (tender) procedure, are expected to pave the way for the fast growth of Hungary''s solar photovoltaic energy market.
Duna Solar Park was established in 2018 and built on 40 hectares (around 0.15 square miles). It consists of 76,000 solar panels, has a capacity of 17.6 MW, and was the second-largest solar project in Hungary for almost a year. Duna Solar Park should be able to power approximately 9,000 homes.
Blackridge Research''s Hungary Solar Power Market Outlook report consolidate the developments and build a perspective on growth from the point of view of the solar sector, in its current and future role.
Solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular sustainable alternative among Hungarians, especially in the current uncertain climate. Gas and electricity prices are sky-high all over Europe, even though many Hungarian
pacity and the 2030 and 2040 capacity targets of Hungary, as well as capital intensity of renewable energy technologies, it can be stated that both the rate of growth and the large volume of required capital pose a challenge to the Hungarian regulatory and financing environment.
In the first pilot auction, held in March 2020, HEPURA awarded almost all the 131.9 MW capacity to solar projects. The final average price was HUF 24.81/kWh in the first category and HUF

Solar was particularly successful in Hungary's first three procurement exercises. In the third auction, HEPURA contracted 299 GW and allocated 183 MW of PV capacity. For the small PVPP category – for installations between 300 kW and 1 MW – the final average price was HUF 21.26/ kW h.
Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2022 Hungary had just over 4,000 megawatt (MW) of photovoltaics capacity, a massive increase from a decade prior. Relatedly, solar power produced 12.5% of the country's electricity in 2022, up from less than 0.1% in 2010.
Relatedly, solar power produced 12.5% of the country's electricity in 2022, up from less than 0.1% in 2010. In 2023, the country's Minister of Energy, Csaba Lantos, predicted Hungary's target for 6,000 MW of PV capacity by 2030 would likely be exceeded twice over, hitting 12,000 MW instead.
Solar momentum is building in Hungary with almost 4 GW of generation capacity, more than 2.5 GW of which is from arrays bigger than 50 kW in scale, according to data published in December by the Hungarian Energetic and Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. Attila Keresztes, CEO of Astrasun Solar.
Duna Solar Park is located in Central Hungary in Pest County, near Százhalombatta, and is the largest solar project in the region. Like Kaba Solar Park, the MET group built it, and together the two solar projects have a capacity of over 50 MW. Built in 2019, Szügy Solar Park has a capacity of 16.5 MW and is the largest solar project in its county.
Even then, eligible projects must fulfill “exemption conditions” which lack transparency. In October, the Hungarian government introduced a provision for small, household-sized solar power plants that fundamentally transformed the Hungarian solar market.
