It has been estimated that there is potential for at least another 4 GW by 2030. </p><p>By the end of 2024 about 3.9 GW of solar had been installed. </p><p>On March 13, 2023, peak photovoltaics power was 30% of Bulgaria electricity generation. However, long-term share of solar power is much lower. Director of Bulgarian transmission network estimated photovoltaics growth as 30% in 2022, and he expected 700 MW new solar capacity in 2023, which could represent 30-40% YoY growth. </p><p>In April 2023 Bulgaria's Inercom signed a contract with Huasun for a supply of 1.5GW solar modules. </p>
