Solarpro, a Vienna-based EPC and O&M contractor within Renalfa Group, is building Hungary’s largest solar power plant. This 450 MW utility-scale project is located in Heves county, northern Hungary. Nearly 700,000 of Hi-MO9 BC modules supplied by the China-based solar technology company LONGi, are being utilized across the asset. Solarpro selected the BC technology to improve performance under local environmental operating conditions across the project site. According to Solarpro, LONGi’s BC technology reduces wafer micro-cracking by 50% and increases electricity generation by up to 8%. This PV plant is anticipated to generate 470 GWh of electricity annually, and is able to supply electricity to around 106,000 households every year. The clean energy output from the deployment is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 415,000 tons per annum. The project follows earlier cooperation between Solarpro and LONGi on a 176 MW solar park in Romania. Recently, LONGi Thailand has launched its 700 W HIBC solar module in Bangkok, offering 25.9% efficiency and lower BOS costs.
