About
The Si Solar panel with Coils (end edge) serves as the electrical power source for satellites. It incorporates built-in electromagnetic coils that can be utilized for the orientation and stabilization system of the device. The panel was released in 2017 and has a guaranteed service life of 1 year, with an estimated production/delivery time of 2 months. It is not flight-qualified and cannot be adapted to customer requirements. Key features include a robust mechanical design with a protective cover, compatibility with SPUTNIX and ISIS CubeSats structures, a super-diode protection circuit, and a built-in planar coil. The design allows for scalable power and coils by using multiple panels. Each item comes with a calibration report. Additionally, the panel has a 13 mm diameter aperture at its center with M2 mount holes, suitable for sun sensors or other payloads.
