Serbia is making remarkable strides in renewable energy, with significant investments in solar power projects to bolster its energy security and sustainability. Among these initiatives is the Petka PV project, a 9.75 MW solar facility currently under construction on a former mining dump in Kostolac. Expected to come online in early 2025, this milestone project represents a pivotal step for the state utility company, Elektroprivreda Srbije, as it ventures into solar power for the first time.
As Serbian Energy Minister Dubravka Đedović Handanović remarked during her recent visit to the Petka site, “There are no big or small projects, every megawatt is needed, because it means additional energy security and safety.” This sentiment reflects Serbia’s broader strategy of combining distributed solar installations with large-scale projects to achieve its green energy goals.
SpolarPV’s Contribution to Serbia’s Solar Revolution
While large projects like Petka are essential, smaller-scale installations also play a vital role in transitioning Serbia’s energy landscape. SpolarPV is proud to contribute to this shift through two successful solar projects in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade:
120 kW Industrial Rooftop Project:
A commercial facility in Belgrade now benefits from a rooftop solar installation using SpolarPV’s 455W bifacial double-glass solar modules. These high-efficiency modules, featuring 21.57% conversion efficiency and PERC technology, ensure optimal power generation even in low-light conditions.
9.1 kW Residential Rooftop Project:
A private home in Belgrade has embraced solar energy with a compact yet efficient 9.1 kW rooftop installation. This project showcases how solar power can be seamlessly integrated into residential settings, providing long-term energy savings for homeowners.
Both projects highlight SpolarPV’s commitment to delivering advanced solar solutions tailored to Serbia’s unique energy needs, from industrial to residential applications.
Bridging the Gap Between Local and Large-Scale Solar Solutions
Serbia’s energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with plans to add 1 GW of new solar capacity and integrate battery storage solutions in the coming years. These developments, coupled with recent government-backed initiatives, position Serbia as a regional leader in renewable energy adoption.
SpolarPV’s involvement in Serbia aligns perfectly with this vision. By enabling businesses and homeowners to access efficient and reliable solar technology, SpolarPV demonstrates that distributed energy solutions can complement large-scale projects like the Petka PV facility. Together, these efforts ensure a more resilient and sustainable energy future for Serbia.
Looking Ahead
As Serbia accelerates its investment in solar energy, SpolarPV remains committed to supporting its clean energy goals. With our expertise in advanced solar technology, including bifacial double-glass modules and innovative solutions for distributed generation, we aim to play a key role in Serbia’s renewable energy journey.
From rooftop installations to potential collaboration on large-scale projects, SpolarPV is proud to empower a greener future for Serbia—one panel at a time.
