SpaceX has signed a contract for a solar-cell production line from Germany’s Singulus Technologies, with the first line valued at more than €60 million, the supplier said. Delivery is planned for the first half of 2027 as SpaceX expands satellite manufacturing in Bastrop, Texas.
The agreement was signed Tuesday and reconfirmed Wednesday in Singulus’s nine-month financial report. It covers a turnkey line for manufacturing heterojunction solar cells.
Singulus described the contract as part of a wider strategic partnership under which it plans to supply additional production lines. Those planned lines are not all firm orders; the value disclosed by the supplier applies to the first line.
The partnership began in March 2026. SpaceX provided funding that month and again in October, according to Singulus’s contract announcement. The supplier said it would develop high-performance solar cells and manufacturing equipment using technologies already deployed at scale.
Wednesday’s financial report repeated the delivery schedule and the more-than-€60 million order value. The production equipment is intended to support SpaceX’s satellite manufacturing expansion in Texas.
