March 20 (Reuters) - Tesla (TSLA) is looking to buy equipment worth $2.9 billion for manufacturing solar panels and cells from Chinese suppliers including Suzhou Maxwell Technologies, two people familiar with the matter said, as CEO Elon Musk aims to add 100 gigawatts of solar capacity in the United States. Musk said in January that solar power could meet ‌all of the electricity needs of the United States - including the ever-increasing demand from a growing number of data centres. Job postings on the T ...

Group 1 - Tesla is in discussions to purchase $2.9 billion worth of solar manufacturing equipment from Chinese suppliers, including Suzhou Maxwell Technologies, to expand its solar capacity by 100 gigawatts in the U.S. [1][4][8] - The equipment acquisition aims to support Tesla's goal of manufacturing solar panels and cells domestically, with a target to deploy 100 GW of solar manufacturing by the end of 2028 [2][8]. - Suzhou Maxwell Technologies is a leading candidate for supplying the necessary machinery, which includes screen-printing production lines, and is currently seeking export approval from China's commerce ministry [3][4]. Group 2 - Other potential suppliers for Tesla's solar equipment include Shenzhen S.C New Energy Technology and Laplace Renewable Energy Technology, with some equipment requiring export approval from Chinese regulators [4][8]. - The delivery of the equipment is expected before autumn, primarily to be used for Tesla's operations, with some allocated for powering SpaceX satellites [5][8]. - The order from Tesla could significantly benefit Chinese solar manufacturing equipment producers, who have faced weak demand due to a domestic production surplus [9]. Group 3 - The U.S. solar market is protected by tariffs on imported solar panels and cells, but solar manufacturing equipment is exempt from these tariffs, allowing Tesla to source necessary machinery from China [10]. - Elon Musk has criticized tariff barriers for increasing the costs of solar deployment in the U.S., especially amid rising electricity demand driven by AI data centers [11]. - As of 2024, the U.S. had 1,300 GW of electricity generation capacity, with only 10% (135 GW) coming from solar power, highlighting the potential impact of Tesla's solar manufacturing ambitions [12][13].

Group 1: Solar Power Advocacy - Elon Musk emphasizes the Sun as an "enormous, free fusion reactor" capable of meeting global energy needs, criticizing the development of small fusion reactors on Earth as inefficient [2][3] - Musk asserts that the Sun will account for 100% of the Solar System's power production potential, even if resources equivalent to four Jupiters were consumed [3] Group 2: Nuclear Energy Developments - Major Silicon Valley tech companies are increasingly supporting nuclear fusion, with Commonwealth Fusion Systems recently securing $863 million in funding, including investment from Nvidia Corp [4] - The Trump administration's Energy Secretary claims that energy prices will decrease, attributing recent electricity price increases, which have risen 13% on average since 2022, to the previous administration's policies [5] Group 3: Tesla's Energy Storage Performance - Tesla reports a 44% revenue growth in its energy storage business, generating over $3.4 billion in Q3, which now represents 12% of the company's total sales, up from 9% year-over-year [6]

RT Eva Fo𝕏 🦊 Claudius Nero's Legion (@EvaFox)Elon Musk on the potential of energy harnessing:“As we progress along the Kardashev Scale, energy harnessed on Earth will increase a hundredfold and will mostly be solar aka fusion aka starlight.Then energy harnessed will increase perhaps a billionfold if we make it to Kardashev II, with space solar power, and another billionfold if we harness the energy of our galaxy.What I’m saying is that there is a lot of upside potential!!!” ...

In space, you you've got continuous solar. You actually don't need batteries because it's always sunny in space. >> That's right.Exactly. >> Um and the solar panels actually become cheaper because you don't need glass or framing and the cooling is just radiative. So that's that's why I think >> that's the dream.>> My estimate is that actually that that that the cost effectiveness of AI in space will be overwhelmingly better than AI on the ground long before you uh exhaust potential energy sources on on Eart ...
