On February 4, there were market rumors that Musk's team had recently secretly visited several Chinese photovoltaic enterprises, such as Jingke Energy , TCL Central , Jingsheng Mechatronics and so on. The investigation covers equipment, silicon wafers, batteries, markets, and even people familiar with the situation say that heterojunction equipment factories have reached orders with Musk's team.".
In response, Jingke Energy wiring staff said that the company did have recent contacts with the relevant delegation of the Musk team, and the other party had a detailed understanding of the company's technical reserves, production equipment, and so on. However, the intention of cooperation and specific details are not disclosed. At the same time, it added that "domestic mainstream photovoltaic enterprises have also been inspected". The person in charge of
TCL Central told reporters, "We have shown Musk's team the relevant content of the company's component technology, which is a preliminary contact at present."
Musk believes that "solar energy is undoubtedly the largest source of energy on the earth at present, especially outside the earth, the sun accounts for almost 100% of all energy." .
At the same time, in order to support his ambitious "ambition", Musk also announced that SpaceX and Tesla will build a total of 200 GW/year photovoltaic capacity ( 100 GW each ) in the United States within three years.
Part of the production capacity is directed to serve the production of space photovoltaic modules, to supply energy for space satellites and data centers, and to support the demand for AI computing power on the ground, so as to build an energy closed-loop of "ground capacity-space application".
