埃隆·马斯克周三与德国中型科技公司辛格拉斯技术公司签署了一份大额订单，为其新的卫星系列“星链思维”供应太阳能电池。据SpaceX创始人埃隆·马斯克在X平台上发布的声明，这份价值6000万欧元的大额订单只是众多订单中的第一笔。交易达成后，该公司股价一度飙升65%至80%，公司估值约为7300万欧元。
Elon Musk signed a major order on Wednesday with a medium-sized German tech company, Singulus Technologies, to supply solar cells for his new line of satellites, Starmind. The €60 million major order is the first of many, according to a statement from SpaceX founder Elon Musk on X.Following the deal, the company's stock temporarily spiked by 65% to 80%, which valued the firm at around €73 million.
公司2025年全年营收仅为4830万欧元，这一增长堪称突破性。作为战略合作的一部分，双方计划新建更多设施和生产线，形成100吉瓦的太阳能产能，相当于十座大型核反应堆的年发电量。“下一代太阳能电池技术”据Business Insider报道，这家总部位于巴伐利亚州卡尔阿姆美因河畔的公司生产“异质结太阳能电池”，这种电池特别适合太空应用。
A groundbreaking rise as the company's annual revenue in 2025 was only €48.3 million. As part of a strategic partnership, further facilities and production lines are planned to be created for a solar power production capacity of 100 gigawatts, the equivalent of the annual production of ten large nuclear reactors.' Next-generation solar cell technology'The company, based in Kahl am Main in Bavaria, manufactures "heterojunction solar cells" that are particularly suitable for space applications, according to Business Insider."
SINGULUS执行董事会成员拉尔斯·利伯沃思在一份声明中表示：“与SpaceX的战略合作使我们能够以有意义的规模进一步将这些能力产业化，并巩固我们作为西方领先的下一代太阳能电池技术供应商的地位。”
The strategic partnership with SpaceX allows us to further industrialise these capabilities at a meaningful scale and solidify our position as a leading Western provider of next-generation solar cell technology," Lars Lieberwirth, Member of the Executive Board of SINGULUS, said in a statement."
SpaceX星链高级副总裁迈克·尼科尔斯表示：“他们的工艺专长与我们长期承诺的结合，为扩大太阳能生产规模创造了一个持久的选项。”
The combination of their process expertise and our long-term commitment creates a durable option for scaling solar production," said Mike Nicolls, SpaceX’s Senior Vice President of Starlink.
SINGULUS开发并组装用于“光伏、半导体、医疗技术、包装、玻璃和汽车，以及电池和氢能市场”的机器。“有感知的太阳”项目这笔订单将为SpaceX位于得克萨斯州的Starmind卫星制造基地供应太阳能电池，时间在2027年初。
Singulus develops and assembles machines used in the "Photovoltaics, Semiconductor, Medical Technology, Packaging, Glass and Automotive, as well as Battery and Hydrogen markets."' Sentient sun' projectThe order will supply the solar cells for the SpaceX Starmind satellites manufacturing site in Texas in early 2027.
Starmind项目旨在生产用作太空AI数据中心的卫星，按照马斯克的说法，这是打造“有感知的太阳”的一种方式。
The Starmind project aims to produce satellites that will serve as AI data centres in space, a way to create a "sentient sun", as Musk said.
Starmind卫星星座将配备巨大的发电太阳能翼，长度达75米，旨在于太空计算AI数据，并通过激光将数据传回地球，相当于一台大型计算机。
Equipped with huge power-generating solar wings that will measure 75 meters long, the Starmind satellite constellation is intended to compute AI data in space and send it to Earth via laser, acting as a large computer."
马斯克在提交给美国联邦通信委员会的一份文件中表示：“通过直接利用几乎持续不断的太阳能，且运营或维护成本极低，这些卫星将实现变革性的成本和能源效率，同时显著减少与地面数据中心相关的环境影响。”
By directly harnessing near-constant solar power with little operating or maintenance costs, these satellites will achieve transformative cost and energy efficiency while significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with terrestrial data centres," Elon Musk said in a filing at the Federal Communications Commission.
尽管马斯克声称要作为这个新项目的一部分，向地球轨道发射100万颗卫星，这一说法不太可能实现，但卫星运营商往往会申请更高的数量，以换取设计上的灵活性。截至目前，在轨卫星仅有1.5万颗，其中马斯克的星链星座就占了9500颗。虽然这项技术尚未得到验证，但谷歌也有类似的计划，即利用卫星作为人工智能计算的算力单元，并借助太阳能为其供电。
Even though Musk's claim to launch 1 million satellites to orbit Earth as part of this new project is unlikely, satellite operators often request approval for a higher number to buy design flexibility. As of today, only 15,000 satellites exist, and Musk's Starlink constellation accounts for 9,500 of them. While the technology hasn't proven itself, Google has similar plans to use satellites as computing units for AI calculations, harnessing the sun to power them.
