Solar power 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. Relatedly, solar power accounted for 18.4% of the country's electricity generation in 2023, 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. 2024 statistics confirmed the previous 6,000 MW by 2030 target was exceeded six years early, with PV capacity rising to 7,550 MW and solar power producing a record 24.8% of national electricity generation -- the highest in the EU.
