Template:Partbox/SolarPanel The Gigantor XL Solar Array is a deployable solar panel. It is the most powerful electrical energy source in KSP at this time, though in some situations the OX-STAT offers better power per unit mass.
Description
| “ | The single largest solar array available for purchase, the Gigantor XL offers tremendous generation potential from a compact initial package. — Probodobodyne Inc. |
” |
Usage
- One panel creates enough energy to keep one ion engine at maximum thrust, under the premise that it is able to orient itself perfectly to the sun.
- The size of the panels, and their look, make them perfect for using on space stations. Now space stations just need some use for that much electrical power.
Changes
- At or before 0.19.1
- (Undocumented) Mass reverted to 0.35.
- (Undocumented) Power increased from 14/s to 18/s. Mass decreased from 0.35 to 0.14.
- Initial Release
