Tesla has announced that it is now using rooftop solar panels to generate clean electricity across its factories, Supercharger sites, and Tesla Centers in Asia, helping reduce more than 7,270 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
The news comes from Tesla’s Asia division on X, which shared that everything from Gigafactory Shanghai to Megafactory Shanghai and numerous retail and charging locations are now powered in part by rooftop solar. This marks another milestone in Tesla’s ongoing mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

As a global leader in clean energy solutions, Tesla has long integrated renewable power generation into its facilities worldwide. At Gigafactory Texas, for example, Tesla famously spelled out “TESLA” across the roof in massive solar panels as part of what the company previously called the largest rooftop solar installation in the world.
The expansion of rooftop solar to more of Tesla’s sites across Asia underscores how the company continues to pair its vehicle manufacturing operations with its growing energy business. Tesla Energy has quickly become one of the automaker’s most profitable divisions, with the segment reporting a record gross profit of $1.1 billion for the third quarter of 2025.
In addition to producing energy storage solutions like the Powerwall, Powerpack, and Megapack, Tesla also continues to deploy solar energy systems around the globe, both for commercial and residential customers. By using solar technology to power operations in Asia, Tesla is effectively demonstrating the scalability and real-world benefits of its clean energy products.
While the company’s electric vehicles often dominate headlines, initiatives like this highlight how Tesla’s broader ecosystem — spanning cars, batteries, robots, AI technology, and renewable energy generation — continues to reduce emissions and redefine what sustainable manufacturing can look like on a global scale.
