SpaceX Building Super Factory to Accelerate Space Photovoltaic Industrialization
● Reporter Liu Yang The commercial space industry is booming, and the value of the space photovoltaic sector is becoming increasingly prominent. SpaceX recently submitted a building permit application in Texas, planning to construct a solar cell manufacturing plant with a total capacity of 10GW near Austin. The batteries produced will exclusively power Starlink satellites and future space AI data centers. This is a key move in Musk's 'space energy closed-loop' strategy, as he previously announced that Tesla and SpaceX will each build 100GW of photovoltaic capacity over the next three years. Analysts point out that this move will not only reshape the competitive landscape of the global photovoltaic industry but will also directly benefit A-share sectors such as solar equipment, specialized batteries, and core materials. The industrialization of space photovoltaics is hitting an acceleration point. With the scaling up of commercial space ventures and the release of demand for space computing power, space photovoltaics is expected to become the strongest growth driver in the A-share solar sector.
