Tesla’s Austin factory to feature world’s largest rooftop solar array

Juan Pedro November 7, 2023

In Texas, Austin Monitor reported that Tesla’s factory in East Austin would be the largest rooftop solar installation in the world when complete, according to company officials.

“We finished phase 1, so we can pull roughly 10 megawatts. When it’s all said and done, it will be 30 megawatts, which will be the largest rooftop solar I think in the world,” Logan Grant, Tesla senior manager of factory engineering, said in a presentation to the Travis County Commissioners Court.

When complete, the roof of the 10-million-square-foot factory will boast 70,000 rooftop solar panels, Tesla officials said.

The Tesla factory in East Austin manufactures the Tesla Model Y SUV. The company also plans to manufacture the Cybertruck there as well, according to the report.
