About
The 1U Solar Panels from CubeSat Aerospace are high-efficiency power generation modules designed for small satellites. These flight-ready panels integrate solar cells, magnetic torquers, and sun sensors into a compact PCB form factor, directly interfacing with the avionics system for streamlined CubeSat power and attitude operations. Designed specifically for 1U CubeSats, these solar panels offer more than just power—they integrate attitude control and sun sensing in a lightweight, low-profile assembly. Each panel includes a magnetic torquer coil and sun sensor routed to the avionics board via FFC, reducing wiring complexity and improving system reliability. Optimized for high solar efficiency and full 6-face coverage. Key benefits include high-efficiency mono-crystalline solar cells, integrated magnetic torquer and sun sensor on every panel, 6-sided coverage for consistent power generation, FFC connection for simplified electrical integration, and a PCB-based design ensuring lightweight, low-profile deployment. They are compatible with CubeSat Aerospace’s avionics system. Certifications include bench-testing for voltage, current, and continuity, functional verification with CubeSat Aerospace avionics board, compliance with PCB, connector, and layout standards for 1U CubeSats, and flight-like integration verified in full-stack assembly tests. A one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects is provided, along with technical support for power budgeting, wiring, and integration.
