Price of solar modules in Minsk

Is there a market for solar cells in Belarus?

A: Currently, there is no commercial production of solar cells in Belarus. The global market is dominated by large-scale manufacturers in China and Southeast Asia. For a new module assembly plant, importing high-efficiency cells is the standard and most economically viable approach.

What makes Belarus a successful solar module manufacturer?

Belarus possesses a robust industrial base in several key areas relevant to solar module manufacturing. Based on experience from J.v.G. turnkey projects in emerging markets, the most successful approach is often a hybrid model—sourcing what makes sense locally while importing highly specialized components.

Is float glass suitable for photovoltaic modules in Belarus?

Belarus is home to Gomelglass OJSC, one of the largest manufacturers of sheet glass in the CIS region. The company operates modern float glass lines and has significant production capacity, presenting a clear opportunity. However, standard architectural or “float” glass is not suitable for photovoltaic modules.

How efficient are solar panels based on hpbc technology?
