Solar power in Hungary



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.

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.

Photovoltaics
Photovoltaics (PV) are expected to grow dramatically in the next few years.
