What happened

On November 10, German equipment maker Singulus Technologies said it signed a contract with SpaceX for a turnkey production line for heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. The first line is worth more than €60 million. On November 11 Singulus shares in Frankfurt more than doubled and reached €27.20. The previous close was about €12.70.

Why it matters to you

Elon Musk wrote on X that SpaceX ordered equipment for 100 GW of solar cell capacity a year. But only the first line is fixed by contract. Singulus only plans to deliver more lines under the partnership.

What to check and watch

Check what is in the filing and what is in the post. The first line is due in the first half of 2027. Watch for Singulus announcements of new contracts. This is an overview, not advice.

What happened. On the evening of November 10, Singulus Technologies, a German equipment maker, published inside information: it signed a contract with SpaceX for a turnkey line to make HJT solar cells. Singulus puts the order for the first line at more than €60 million.

What is planned. The contract is part of a strategic partnership with SpaceX. Under it, Singulus plans to deliver several additional lines. Production is to scale to support more than 100 GW of production equipment as SpaceX ramps up satellite manufacturing in Bastrop, Texas. The first line is due in the first half of 2027.

What Musk said. On Tuesday evening Elon Musk wrote on X that SpaceX ordered HJT solar cell manufacturing equipment from Singulus in Germany with a capacity of 100 GW a year. The company's announcement fixes one line, and the rest are only planned.

How the market reacted. According to Handelsblatt, the stock traded at €25.90 on Wednesday midday, about 104% above the previous close of €12.70. According to dpa-AFX, it rose as high as €27.20, the highest level in more than ten years. At the end of 2025 it was about €1.34.

Where the money comes from. The partnership began in March 2026. SpaceX provided significant funding to Singulus in March and again in October 2026 as part of a recently announced subordinated secured loan.

What is unknown. How many lines SpaceX will order and when. What sums stand behind the other lines. How Singulus will scale up production. For now, one contract for one line is confirmed.
