Because of the much lower escape velocity, there is a great advantage in manufacture of solar cells for use in space on the moon rather than on earth. Silicon is abundant on the moon, and new refining methods allow it to be reduced and purified without extensive reliance on materials unavailable on the moon. Silicon and amorphous silicon solar cells could be manufactured on the moon for use in space.
