GaAs Solar Panels

The minimum order quantity for this subsystem is 20 pieces.

NanoAvionics GaAs (Triple junction GaInP/GaInAs/Ge epitaxial structure) solar arrays are made of high-performance triple junction space grade solar cells that enable missions with high power requirements.

These solar cells reach up to 29.5 % efficiency and have an integrated by-pass diode to protect series connected solar cell string from shadowing effects or individual cell failure.

Solar cells are assembled using NASA qualified low outgassing adhesive materials in clean room environment.

Available upon request:

Deployables
Surface-mounted wire cutters
Integrated magnetometers
Attitude estimation sensors
