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.

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.
