Solar panels

Solar panels respond to both direct sunlight coming straight from the sun and diffuse sunlight reflected from particles in clouds and the atmosphere. Solar panels are usually able to generate some electricity even on a cloudy day. However, most electricity is produced on clear days when direct sunlight hits the panels.

Impact Story: Roll-Out Solar Arrays

Most spacecraft use solar panels to harness the Sun''s continuous energy and provide power for various needs such as thermal and payload operations. However, solar panel designs are built around two key factors: size and reliability, which have been difficult to optimize. Size of the panels affects the cost of launch, while long-term ...
