The Gigantor XL Solar Array is a deployable solar panel. It is the largest and most powerful electrical energy source in KSP at this time, though in some situations the OX-STAT offers better power per unit mass.
Usage
One panel creates enough energy to keep one PB-ION Electric Propulsion System at maximum thrust and a distance to Kerbol similar to that of Kerbin, under the premise that it is able to orient itself perfectly to the sun. Adding the solar panel radially allows a perfect orientation at all thrusting directions; the craft may need to be rolled to allow a decent enough coverage.
The size of the panels, and their appearance, make them perfect for using on space stations. The only electricity consumers on space stations that could realistically require the power provided by the Gigantor XL are the ISRU Converter and Mobile Processing Lab MPL-LG-2, which consume 30 E/s and 5 E/s respectively.
