Pécs Solar Park is a large thin-film photovoltaic (PV) power system, built on a 20 ha (49 acres) plot of land located in Pécs in Hungary. The solar park has around 38,000 state-of-the-art thin film PV panels for a total nameplate capacity of 20-megawatts, and was finished in April 2016.[1] The solar park is expected to supply around 63 GWh of electricity per year enough to power some 10,000 average homes.[2]
The installation is located in the Baranya County in south-western Hungary near Pécs-Tüskésrét. The investment cost for the Pécs solar park amounts to some 4.2 billion Hungarian forint.[2]
This is the fourth largest photovoltaics producing plant in Hungary and the largest in Southern Transdanubia. (until 2019)
