Briefing by News4U · First published
Today Elon Musk said on X that SpaceX has ordered 100 GW/year of HJT solar manufacturing equipment from Singulus in Germany, and that this is for Starmind to create a sentient sun. The remarks appeared in a post quoting SpaceX, which said it had signed a major supply contract with SINGULUS for advanced solar cell manufacturing to support more than 100 GW of equipment as it accelerates production of Starmind satellites in Bastrop, Texas. Musk did not say how many lines had been firmly ordered or when the equipment would be delivered, and the quoted SpaceX post did not give a contract value. [1] [2]
