About
The Nanosatellite Solar Panel, released in 2016, is a solar cell board engineered to provide power for nanosatellites. It functions by converting light energy into electricity, ensuring the continuous operation of the spacecraft. The panel has a guaranteed service life of 1 year and an estimated production/delivery time of 6 months. While it does not currently have flight qualification, there is a possibility to adapt the product to customer requirements. Key features include optional solar cells, integrated temperature and light sensors for monitoring environmental conditions, and an optional magnetic coil, which could be used for attitude control or other magnetic field interactions. The panel includes a 12-bit temperature sensor resolution, 16-bit light sensor resolution per channel, and uses an RGBW light sensor. The temperature sensor boasts an accuracy of 0.5 °C, and the solar cell provides 2.1 W of power with an actuation of 0.2 A m2 at 5 V.
