According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has announced a significant expansion of its Giga New York factory, targeting an initial solar model capacity of 300MW per year. Historically, Tesla sourced solar panels from third-party providers, but the company is now shifting production in-house within the United States. This strategic move is expected to enhance Tesla's control over its solar supply chain and could accelerate integration with its AI-driven energy management systems, offering new business opportunities in smart grid and renewable energy markets, as reported by Sawyer Merritt.

According to Sawyer Merritt, as reported by pv-magazine-australia.com, Tesla has launched new residential solar panels which are designed to integrate seamlessly with their complete home energy ecosystem. This innovation leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to optimize energy production and consumption for homeowners, promoting efficient energy management and cost savings. As highlighted by pv-magazine-australia.com, these panels are positioned to accelerate the adoption of smart energy solutions and drive business opportunities for AI-powered home automation in the renewable energy sector.

According to Sawyer Merritt, xAI is planning to install around 88 acres of solar panels around its Colossus supercomputer facility in Memphis, Tennessee, aiming to power its AI infrastructure with renewable energy. This move follows a recent announcement by Memphis Light Gas & Water partnering with another company to construct a 550-acre solar field near xAI’s campus, signaling a significant trend toward sustainable energy solutions for large-scale AI operations. This development highlights a growing business opportunity for AI companies to invest in green energy to lower operational costs and enhance their environmental credentials, supporting the increasing energy demands of advanced AI models and data centers (Sawyer Merritt, Twitter, Nov 26, 2025; WREG News).
