In supportof the space exploration initiative a new architecture for the production of solar cells on the lunar surface is devised. The paper discusses experimental data on the fabrication and properties of lunar glass substrates, evaporated lunar regolith thin film (anti-reflect coatings and insulators). and preliminary attempts inthe fabrication of thin film (silicon/ll-VI) photovoltaic materials on lunar regolith substrates. A conceptual design for a solarpowered robotic rover capable of fabricating solarcells directly on the lunar surface is provided. Technical challenges in the development of such a facility and strategies to alleviate perceived difficulties are discussed. Finally preliminary cost benefit ratio analysis for different in situ solar cell production scenarios (using excluively in-situ planetary resource or hybrid) are discussed
