#Elon musk Needs a Very Big Factory for His New Solar technology The Tesla founder and private space entrepreneur Elon musk announced yesterday that Solar City,
And with typical bravado, he also said that the company plans to build a huge factory to produce Silevo high-efficiency solar panels,
with by far the largest factory in the U s. The acquisition makes sense given that Silevo technology has the potential to reduce the cost of installing solar panels,
But the decision to build a huge factory in the U s. seems daringspecially given the recent failures of other U s.-based solar manufacturers in the face of competition from Asia.
if it can scale up from its current production capacity of 32 megawatts to the factory Musk has planned,
The factory plan mirrors an idea Musk introduced at one of his other companies, Tesla motors,
The proposed plant would have more lithium-ion battery capacity than all current factories combined (see oes Musk Gigafactory Make sense?
and esla Plans to Start Building Its Gigafactory Next Month. One key difference, says Travis Bradford,

But subsidies from the state of New york, where Solar City plans to build its factory near Buffalo
New york is putting in $225 million in infrastructure for the factory, which might help offset the damage to U s. solar manufacturers that the U s. government says have been inflicted by subsidies in places like China.

Second, battery companies normally announce factories only after theye funded and a site is selected. And they typically scale up gradually.

The factory would cost $5 billion, with $2 billion coming from Tesla. If Tesla can sell as many cars as it hopes,
and whatever the final factory looks like, the way Musk has been promoting it may prove to be a savvy business move.
Announcing the factory at an early stage, and with an ambitious size, could be good for negotiations with states,
