The age of solar energy is dawning in Eastern Europe: According to the European industry association SolarPower Europe, Poland has been one of the top ten leading countries in Europe in terms of PV deployment since 2016. Hungary has joined the list after adding 1.6 gigawatts (GW) of PV capacity in 2023, a 45 percent increase over the previous year.
Eastern Europe indeed represents a promising market with untapped potential in solar energy deployment, given its early-stage market development. Solar energy, being highly competitive and increasingly cost-effective, is expected to play a key role in the region’s energy future.
The country’s total solar power output increased dramatically, by 970 megawatts (MW) to be exact. The PV boom in Eastern Europe is driven by a desire for greater energy independence and a commitment to environmental and climate targets. Other key drivers are cost efficiency, technological advances and subsidy policies.
Eastern Europe is often overlooked in discussions about solar power generation in Europe, where the likes of Germany and Spain dominate the growth in deployed solar electricity production.
