The '''Gigantor XL Solar Array''' is a deployable solar panel. It is the largest and most powerful [[Electricity|electrical energy]] source in KSP at this time, though in some situations the [[OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels|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 station]]s. 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.
