Solid Power
― Decided to sell ‘powder of solid electrolyte’ instead of batteries

Solid Power is a startup for all-solid-state batteries, They do not intend to produce commercial battery cells.and explicitly stated in their 10-K filing. They will be selling sulfur-basedsolid electrolyte itselfand, customers are battery makers such as Samsung SDI and SK On. So sales already exist (2025 fiscal year $21.74 million), and cash on hand is also abundant at $419.33 million. This article discusses the‘selling materials’ optionWe will organize it based solely on the legal filings submitted to the U.S. SEC, which reflect how it is presented in terms of financial and corporate structure.

Composition: Uses primary information from the 2025 fiscal year Form 10-K (filed on February 25, 2026) and the second quarter of the 2026 fiscal year Form 10-Q (filed on August 5, 2026); Last updated September 2026

One point to grasp first

Companies working on solid-state batteriesAutomotive manufacturers, battery manufacturers, and startupsare divided into three types. Solid Power is one of theseStartupsHowever, even the same startupsells completely different things fact. 10-K is commercializing its strategy to ‘ supply electrolytes to Tier 1 battery makers and automakers that produce and sell cells,’ and continues with ‘ The company does not plan to produce commercial battery cells, so it expects its capital requirements to be significantly lower than those of cell makers. In other words, the company it is aiming for is ‘ a materials manufacturer, not a battery manufacturer. If QuantumScape is ‘a technology licensing company’ and Factorial is ‘a cell manufacturing and selling company,’ then Solid Power is ‘ A company that sells flour. This difference will explain all of the financial structure and cooperative structure mentioned later.

2. Regarding logo and company name display

Note on notation: The holding companies listed are Solid Power, Inc.、 The parties to the contract are the subsidiary companies Solid Power Operating, Inc. are. The subsidiary companies have also signed a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy. Our production facilities are located within the company. SP1(Louisville) and SP2(Soonton) and is referred to by this abbreviation in the disclosed documents as well.

3. Among the world of all-solid-state batteries, where is this company located?

Companies that are working on solid-state batteries Even though the companies are ‘working on solid-state batteries’, their positions and goals are completely different Automotive manufacturers battery manufacturer Startups Creating batteries for their own cars Creating batteries to sell Proving technology and raising capital Toyota / Honda / BMW Nissan/VW/SAIC and others CATL/Samsung SDI LG Energy Solution/SK On Solid Power QuantumScape/Factorial et al. Have your own exit for mass production Can supply to multiple customers Do not have mass production equipment on your own Even if it fails, cars can be sold Cannot sell unless adopted Funding runs out and it ends Solid Power is located at the right end, but its target is not batteries, but rather the position of ‘material manufacturers’ Cells are positioned as a means to improve electrolytes, and it explicitly states in its 10-K that it does not produce commercial cells
Figure 1 The three types of companies working on all-solid-state batteries and Solid Power’s positioning. The classification is based on this article, and examples of company names are drawn from the 23 companies in this series Calculations in this articleBased on the information provided in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 2025, it does not produce commercial cells and positions cells as a means to develop electrolytes.

4. Company Size (Revenue is present but not from product sales)

Be careful with this interpretation of revenue

Solid Power differs from other all-solid-state battery startupsit has sales. However, the contents are notthe revenue from selling electrolytes fact. 10-K states that ‘revenues to date have primarily arisen from the fulfillment of research and development license agreements, line installation contracts, and government contracts,’ it explains. That isdevelopment income received in response to achieving milestonesand, it is not the sales revenue from mass-producing and selling products. Actually, the sales in the second quarter of 2026 areMinus 1,017 thousand dollarsand is recorded as negative. This change in estimate clearly shows that such fluctuations are not indicative of product sales.

Calculation in this article: How many more years will cash last?

The operating cash outflow for the first half of 2026 was $27.17 million. When converted to an annual rate, it is approximately $54.35 million, and dividing this by the liquidity of $419.33 million as of June 30, 2026is roughly 7.7 years worth.approximately 4.9 years Calculations in this article among the startups covered in this series,stands out as having a very longThe numbers are as follows. However, this is a rough estimate that does not include equipment investment. The company is currently constructing a continuous electrolyte pilot line and the investment in equipment will increase in the future. As stated by the company itself:At least for the next 12 monthsis sufficient fact。

It is also possible to read from the documents why there is such a margin. The ATM increase in 2025 will be handled88.8 million dollars、in January 2026 through a single institutional investor fundraising121.3 million dollarsWe have obtained it. Furthermore, we do not plan to build commercial cell factories, so the initial equipment investment is small in the first place. The selection of the business model directly affects the cash flow sustainability periodThis is the company.

Readings for Startup: Four Numbers

(1) Cash on Hand= $419.33 million, zero debt. (2) Annual Cash Outflow= approximately $54 million to $73 million. (3) Is it invested by an automobile manufacturer?= BMW participates in Series B and has the right to appoint one director. SK On also invested $30 million in 2021. (4) Does it have its own mass production facilities?=It possesses electrolyte but not cells. Calculations in this article。

(4) is the core of this company. The equipment for selling items (electrolyte) is owned by itself, while the equipment for not selling items (cells) is not possessed. The pilot line for cells isan evaluation apparatus for electrolyte.It is positioned as 10-K is ‘…’The company believes it has the ability to produce both pilot-scale electrolyte and cells.and writes that, it claims this to be a competitive advantage.

8. What does this company aim to achieve with solid-state batteries?

This part includes information that the company has not directly stated.Inferred from primary sources within the scope of what can be read.Along with the basis, I will write it down.

What can be readprimary informationClassification
The goal isStandard Supplier of Sulfide-Based ElectrolytesPositionIn the filing, ‘Tier 1 battery makers and OEMs are supporting the use of sulfide-based materials as a future solid-state cell configuration,’ it is stated. ‘We will become a preferred electrolyte supplier for customers who make cells themselves,’ it is clearly written.fact
Not to compete with customersAs the central focus of its strategy‘The cell’s capabilities are to be utilized in supporting the development of electrolytes, not to compete with Tier 1 cell makers or OEMs,’ as stated in the 10-K.fact
the main battlefield isbeing placed in South KoreaThe 10-K notes that most of the electrolyte shipments in 2025 were destined for SK On’s lines and Dahae, and all these initiatives are related to South Korea.speculation
direct deals with automakersthrough battery manufacturersto start valuingThe cell development with Ford has ended, and Samsung SDI will intervene in the form of a three-party collaboration with BMW. It also has supply contracts with SK On.speculation
Commercialization untilBuy timeStrategyFunding rounds in 2025 and 2026, with the recurring phrase ‘fiscally disciplined’ (financially disciplined). Maintaining a state of zero debt.speculation
The basis for speculation is only one

October 2025 of thethree-party joint evaluation contractthe role division in this contract best represents the company’s objectives. In the contract, Solid Power is responsible forsupplying the electrolytewhile Samsung SDI manufactures the separators and cathodes, and also assembles cells. The performance assessment is decided by BMW and Samsung SDI. Solid Power stays outside of the cell. fact.

This isThe desired position for a materials manufactureris to be able to avoid taking responsibility for the design and yield of cells, while the shipment volume increases as customers increase. On the other hand, if it is not adopted, nothing will remainThis weakness also creates a simultaneous effect. The fact that the relationship with Ford has shrunk in the form of the end of cell development is, according to this article, a manifestation of that. Unconfirmed / Future However, the company has not explained the reason for the termination with Ford, so this remains an interpretation within this article.

The relationship with Samsung SDI is unique in that there is no investment, making it a purely material trading relationship, which is the key point of this diagram.

10. Technology Approach Used

Item10-K description
Electrolyte systemsulfide-based。Lithium Sulfide (Li2S) such as raw materials
Why sulfide-based?Among all solid electrolytesBalancing ion conductivity and processabilityis considered the best. Cells can be made with industry-standard roll-to-roll equipment
Raw material constraintsRaw materials are produced on an industrial scale worldwide, butLi2the precursor alone is an exception. We are simultaneously securing multiple sources and developing our own manufacturing process
Current cell configurationMulti-layer laminate type.NMC cathode + silicon-based anode + separatorand electrolyte is added to each layer
Cell capacity0.2Ah〜60Ah
Research-stageLithium-metal cell, anode-free cell. Further, in the long term, designs without nickel and cobalt are also being considered. All of these are superior to the current NMC/silicon design.At a very early stage
Manufacturing methodCurrently, two batch-type pilot lines.Scheduled to operate a continuous pilot line within the year 2026Material engineer’s perspective: The transition from batch to continuous is truly the critical phase
AI-generated conceptual illustration

The technical strengths of this company are not in the performance of cells.the method of making powderit lies Calculations in this article. Sulfide solid electrolytes are made by mixing raw materials, heat treating them, and then grinding and sorting the particles. Batch method (making each batch separately) is easy to handle in small quantities but Variation cannot be avoided among pots, and the price also does not decrease.. When switching to a continuous process (producing while flowing materials), conditions can be maintained consistently, resulting in uniform quality, which leads to increased utilization rates of labor and equipment, thereby reducing costs. The statement ‘Continuous is necessary before commercial scale’ by 10-K means this.

In addition to sulfur-basedSensitive to moistureThis has its own unique difficulty. It produces hydrogen sulfide when it comes into contact with moisture, so the entire process from the addition of raw materials to the removal of powder must be continuous in a dry atmosphere. While batch processing can handle each reactor individually in a glove box, continuous processing requires sealing the entire line. “Switching to continuous processing” is more akin to a factory overhaul than an equipment replacement—— This is where this company’s biggest challenge lies according to this article Unconfirmed / Future。

11. The risks this company faces

RisksContentClassification
Revenue is milestone-dependentRevenue arises from the fulfillment of development contracts and government contracts, with changes in estimates for the second quarter of 2026Negative bookingIt is not product revenuefact
The main contract expiration is imminentThe first stage of joint evaluation with Samsung SDI ends on September 30, 2026. A new cooperation agreement with SK On is under negotiation. BMW has the right to terminate certain agreements after December 31, 2025fact
The relationship with Ford has been reducedCell development activities have ended, and JDA is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2026. It is stated that in the future they aim to supply electrolytes, but the contract is not yet signedfact
Dependency on public fundsThe grant from the Ministry of Energy is up to 50 million dollars, butthere is a possibility that it may not be received as expectedand it has itself listed this as a risk. The company’s share of the costs is 60 million dollarsfact
Li2S precursor acquisitionraw materials for electrolytes including Li2only S is limited in supply at industrial scale. Demand is expected to surge with commercializationfact
lawsuit regarding the old SPACA shareholder derivative lawsuit against former executives of the old SPAC (DCRC) was filed in December 2024. The company itself is not a defendant, butthe plaintiff is seeking advance payment for compensation and defense costs from the defendant sidefact
The weakness of being a materials manufacturerBecause we are outside the cell, we cannot decide whether to be adopted. If the customer changes its policy to exclude sulfur-based materials, there will be few optionsspeculation

12. Glossary

All-solid-state battery
A battery with electrolyte in solid form instead of liquid. It is said to have a low risk of fire and be strong against high voltage and high temperature.
Sulfide-type solid electrolyte
A solid electrolyte containing sulfur. It has high ion conductivity and is soft, but it releases hydrogen sulfide when it comes into contact with moisture.
Li2S (Lithium Sulfide)
The main raw material for sulfide-based solid electrolytes. Supply at industrial scale is limited.
Cassolite
An electrolyte that transports ions within the cathode in a full-solid battery. In full-solid batteries, a powder of solid is used.
Batch/Continuous
Making each batch separately is batch production, and making it continuously by flowing materials is continuous production. The latter is more consistent in quality and reduces costs.
Tier 1
A parts manufacturer that directly supplies to automobile manufacturers. In the case of batteries, it refers to a battery cell manufacturer.
ATM increase
At-The-Market offering. A method of selling shares gradually at market price to raise funds.
Form 10-K
Annual report submitted by U.S.-listed companies to the U.S. SEC. Audited and comes with legal responsibility.
