PV Potential in Hungary PV installations For buildings and for other objects For free land areas Data input: Hungarian Statistical Yearbook
PV Potential in Hungary Solar modules could be installed principle on one side of the saddle roofs and on 0,431*flat roofs. Solar modules could be installed really only 50% of the principle areas and 25% of the railway. (shading & others) Because of orientation loss the effective solar areas are with 10% lower
PV Potential in Hungary Calculating with 10% average module efficiency 1 m 2 solar module nominal power = 100 Wp Calculating with 80% matching and other conversion losses 1 kwp solar arrays produce yearly average in Hungary at different tilt angles as follows: at 30 o 1200 kwh/year, at 45 o 1150 kwh/year and at 60 o 1100 kwh/year.

PV Potential in Hungary Yearly average electrical energy production of the solar equipment to be installed potentially in Hungary =486 billion kwh. Yearly demand of the electrical energy in Hungary today ~ 40 billion kwh. PV potential more than 12 fold. Remarks for PV fields: + Building facades Solar thermal collectors
RES share in electricity production by 2010 in Hungary Obligation = 3,6 % Fulfilled in 2005 with converting 3 power station for biomass fuel (wood)
PV subsidy in Hungary No specific subsidy for PV, only for RES More competitive RES subsidized Feed in tariff for RES
PV subsidy in Hungary 2000-2004 Investment. Max. 30% (max. 1000 for privates, max. 140.000 for companies). VAT 12/25% PV was not competitive in RES. Practically no subsidized. Only PV R&D projects were subsidized.
PV subsidy in Hungary 2000-2004 Feed in tariff. 0,114-0,066-0,037 /kwh (peak-valley-deep valley) No obligation under 100 kwp
PV subsidy in Hungary 2006 Investment subsidy ~ 0. Previous subsidy expected for 2007 Only PV R&D projects were subsidized.
PV subsidy in Hungary 2005 New Electrical Energy Act (79/2005 September) Feed in tariff. 0,092 /kwh 100 kwp lower limit deleted
Conclusion Backwardness. Skilled people. Effective subsidy system is required. Well definite national program and effective strategy are needed. Competent governmental organization is needed. Utilization of EU sources.
