Elon Musk aims to establish 100 gigawatts of solar manufacturing capacity annually through Tesla and SpaceX within three years. This plan focuses on full supply chain integration in the US, covering everything from raw material refining to finished solar panel production. If successful, this initiative would significantly increase US solar output, potentially surpassing current domestic capacity and challenging global leaders in solar module production. The strategy involves a multi-billion dollar investment to reduce reliance on foreign solar cells.
