Space Solar Cells

Projects

The new production line, inaugurated in March 2025, represents a €20 million investment, over one-third of which is funded through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model under ASI’s Space Factory 4.0 program, connected to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

This investment has enabled a 200% increase in production capacity, thanks to the introduction of five new evaporators and a MOCVD reactor for controlled growth of advanced semiconductors.

Supported by a team of over 60 highly specialized technicians, including 30 new hires, CESI Space is poised to strengthen Italy’s role in the global space economy.
