Bishkek, Feb. 4, 2026. /Kabar/. Projects to establish solar panel production facilities are currently under consideration in Kyrgyzstan. This was announced at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament) during a discussion on energy issues.
Deputy Altynbek Kylychbaev asked whether efforts are underway to launch solar panel manufacturing in the country.
In response, Deputy Minister of Energy Altynbek Rysbekov said that there are currently no such production facilities in the republic, but work in this direction is ongoing.
The deputy noted that quartzite, which is used to obtain monosilicon, is required for solar panel production. According to him, the production of technical quartzite, polysilicon, and monosilicon could be established at the Kristall plant.
“Many regions are requesting solar panels. I have held discussions with designers, and about 1 billion soms in investment is required to launch production. In addition to solar panels, other products could also be manufactured. One plant could employ around 6,000 people, and a total of four such facilities would need to be built,” Kylychbaev said.
Deputy Minister Rysbekov added that investors themselves are showing interest in solar energy projects, and the Ministry of Energy is ready to support such initiatives.
