About the company
Solaero Technologies Corp. is a for-profit aerospace solar technology manufacturer headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, specializing in the design and production of high-performance solar cells, solar panels, and related components for space applications. The company serves as a critical domestic supplier to multiple federal agencies, including the Air Force, Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA, and the Department of Defense, with extensive experience supporting major space programs such as Orion, GPS III, and advanced satellite systems. Solaero's core expertise lies in manufacturing space-rated solar array components that meet stringent aerospace industry standards, positioning the company as a key provider for advancing domestic satellite solar technology capabilities.
Solaero Technologies Corp. has received multiple prime federal contract awards spanning definitive contracts, blanket purchase agreements, and purchase orders from various federal agencies without set-aside designations. The Air Force Research Laboratory has been a significant contracting partner, awarding major definitive contracts including a $15,004,784 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the SSPACE program (Space Solar Power Advancement for Constellation-Class Expansion STAR) with performance through December 2029, a $4,499,703 contract for Next Generation SPM, a $6.92 million contract for automated low-cost space panel manufacturing systems, and a $444,898 contract for space technology advanced research in solar array threat hardening. The Air Force Academy has awarded multiple purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement task orders totaling over $241,180 for Coverglass-Interconnected-Cells (CICs), with additional purchase orders valued at $20,750. NASA's Shared Services Center has awarded firm-fixed-price purchase orders including a $78,000 contract for European Service Module solar cell standards and a $100,446 contract for inspection, cleaning, and repair services for PACE Solar Array Panels. Additionally, Solaero has served as a subcontractor on numerous prime contracts with major aerospace companies including Lockheed Martin Corp, The Aerospace Corporation, Blue Canyon Technologies LLC, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC, and others, providing specialized solar cell components, interconnects, and solar array systems for programs including Orion and various satellite systems.
Solaero Technologies Corp. holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Air Force Academy valued at $1.5 million, effective through September 13, 2029, for the procurement of space-rated Coverglass-Interconnected-Cells essential for constructing flight-ready solar arrays for future spacecraft. Two task orders have been executed under this BPA to date: the initial task order awarded September 26, 2024, valued at $171,580 on a firm fixed-price basis with a May 2, 2025 completion date, and a subsequent task order awarded September 30, 2025, valued at $69,600 with a December 29, 2025 completion date. Both task orders address the Air Force Academy's requirement to maintain reliable domestic supply of advanced satellite solar cells and panels while mitigating supply chain disruptions. Together, these executed task orders represent approximately $241,180 in obligated work against the $1.5 million ceiling, leaving approximately $1.26 million in remaining contract capacity available for future orders through the agreement's expiration in September 2029.
