European EPC and O&M specialist Solarpro is currently constructing a landmark 450 MW solar facility in Hungary’s Heves County, marking the country’s largest photovoltaic project to date. The installation will feature approximately 700,000 high-efficiency Hi-MO9 modules from global solar leader LONGi, continuing their successful collaboration following last year’s 176 MW solar park development in Studina, Romania.
The state-of-the-art plant is projected to:
• Generate 470 GWh annually sufficient to power ~106,000 Hungarian households
• Offset 415,000 tons of CO₂ emissions yearly (equivalent to removing 100,000+ gasoline vehicles)
• Establish new benchmarks for renewable energy adoption in Central Europe The development positions Hungary as an emerging leader in renewable energy adoption while showcasing how advanced photovoltaic technologies can deliver both environmental benefits and economic value at a utility scale.
Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, said, “It’s an honour to supply Solarpro the modules for this landmark Hungarian project. In partnering with one of Europe’s leading project developers, we’re able to contribute to the region’s clean energy future and, at the same time, to set a new technological standard. At LONGi and Solarpro, we’re both committed to innovation and long-term sustainability, so we’re looking forward to continuing the cooperation.”
Krasen Mateev, CEO of Solarpro said: “We are proud to join forces with LONGi once again on this major project in Hungary. At 450 MW, the solar plant will be Europe’s largest back-contact installation and a milestone in Solarpro’s mission to deliver reliable, high-efficiency clean energy across the region. The advanced technology of the Hi-MO9 was a clear choice to maximize the project’s performance and long-term reliability.
