Earlier this morning, drone footage via Tobias Lindh confirmed that Tesla installed its first set of solar panels on the roof of Giga Berlin.
The Model Y production line is up and running at Giga Berlin. However, the entire factory is not finished yet, and Tesla continues to do work around the site.
Starting the line in an unfinished building is the norm for Tesla.
The reason for this is Tesla can can continue to build the rest of the factory while producing vehicles.
The panels are in a west-east system which will provide power throughout the day. This is interesting as Giga Texas is a west system, and no one is exactly sure why the two solar arrays are different.
