Solar Arrays on the International Space Station

The space station''s solar arrays contain a total of 262,400 solar cells and cover an area of about 27,000 square feet (2,500 square meters) — more than half the area of a football field.

From 2007 the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS; pronounced spits) allowed a docked Space Shuttle to make use of power provided by the International Space Station''s solar arrays.
International Space Station (ISS) power system

The solar arrays produce more power than the station needs at one time for the station systems and experiments. When the station is in sunlight, about 60 percent of the electricity that the solar arrays
International Space Station Assembly Elements

The roll-out siolar arrays augment the International Space Station''s eight main solar arrays. They produce more than 20 kilowatts of electricity and enable a 30% increase in power production over the
Engineering:Electrical system of the International Space Station

Each ISS solar array wing (often abbreviated "SAW") consists of two retractable "blankets" of solar cells with a mast between them. Each wing is the largest ever deployed in space, weighing over 2,400
The ISS Engineering Feat: Power and Cooling

In 1998, the Zarya Module was the first space station module and also carried the first solar panels and radiators. Then, in 2000, the Zvezda Module carried up the next set of solar panels.
