In-situ power generation on the Moon is essential for the advancement of space exploration and habitation. At present this involves transportation of solar cells to the Moon. This proposal aims to pave the way for manufacture of solar cells on the Moon from Lunar materials. Utilising the future extraction and purification of silicon, abundant in lunar regolith, the project will focus on fabrication of silicon solar cells. This will provide power for: water mining, oxygen extraction, vehicles and habitats on the Moon and delivery of materials to Low Earth Orbit. The proposed research aims to develop solar cells that can be manufactured on the Moon, using materials abundant there, and techniques exploiting the natural vacuum of space.

在月球上就地发电对于推进太空探索和居住至关重要。目前，这涉及到将太阳能电池运送到月球。这项提议旨在为利用月球材料在月球上制造太阳能电池铺平道路。利用未来提取和提纯月球风化层中丰富的硅，该项目将专注于硅太阳能电池的制造。这将为：水开采、氧气提取、月球上的车辆和栖息地以及向近地轨道运送物资提供电力。这项拟议中的研究旨在开发可以在月球上制造的太阳能电池，利用月球上丰富的材料和利用太空自然真空的技术。
