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.
