Recently, LONGi Green Energy Technology and Solarpro, a leading European PV and energy storage engineering contractor, signed a landmark cooperation agreement to jointly build the largest BC (Back Contact) photovoltaic power plant in Europe to date. Located in the northern region of Heves, Hungary, the project has a total installed capacity of 450MW. As a representative benchmark for high-quality power stations in Europe, it will exclusively use LONGi’s BC modules, Hi-MO 9. The realization of this cooperation not only marks a significant milestone in Europe’s green transition and the adoption of advanced PV technology but also demonstrates another strong practice and breakthrough in accelerating the global scaling of LONGi’s BC technology, thereby enhancing the value of large-scale ground-mounted power plants.
Heves, the project location in northern Hungary, experiences cold winters, hot summers with significant annual temperature variations, and harsh environmental conditions such as dust storms. The Hi-MO 9 modules, built on LONGi’s HPBC 2.0 technology, maintain high efficiency in complex application scenarios such as high temperatures, high humidity, and low-light conditions. These differentiated advantages persist throughout the product’s lifecycle, effectively ensuring that the power plant delivers more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective clean energy to local users.
It is estimated that this 450MW super power plant will generate approximately 470GWh of electricity annually, sufficient to meet the yearly electricity needs of about 106,000 households. By replacing traditional fossil fuels, the clean energy produced by the project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 415,000 tons per year, equivalent to removing the emissions of over 100,000 fuel-powered vehicles.
