About

The SP1Z is a solar panel specifically engineered for CubeSat applications, compatible with 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U CubeSat structures. It incorporates high-efficiency triple junction UTJ solar cells to provide power. The panel is equipped with two parallel picoblade power connectors for electrical integration. Beyond power generation, the SP1Z includes a suite of integrated sensors, such as a digital temperature sensor, an NTC thermistor, a coarse sun sensor, an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and a magnetic sensor. It also features RBF (Remove Before Flight) and Umbilical connections, indicating its readiness for pre-flight and launch operations.
