3U Front Solar Panel Bare PCB w/Kapton face

Part number: SP-L-F3U-0029-CS-K
Cost:£600.00

3U CubeSat Front High-Efficiency Solar Panel

  • High quality PCB Substrate with space-grade Kapton coverlay
  • 6 large area triple junction cells with 28.3% efficiency minimum (7 cell version available on request for panels with a smaller fee-through aperture; note, image shows a side panel, which does not have a cut-out for wire feed-throughs)
  • Temperature sensor, reverse bias protection diodes and harness connector
  • Compatible with CubeSatKit structure (ISIS [and other] structure version available on request)
  • Manufactured to Clyde Space qualified, flight heritage processes using space grade materials
  • Other sensors available for inclusion on solar panel (i.e. coarse and fine sunsensors). Magnetometers and/or rate sensors can be included, but we advise that these are placed in a more thermally benign location due to the device temperature coefficients.
  • Also available with integrated magnetorquers
  • All manufacturing at Clyde Space is to our ISO9001:2008 accredited processes by our ESA trained assembly staff (see our Quality Manual)
  • Solar_Panel_Datasheet
  • 3D Model Available on request.
