The '''OX-STAT''' is a non-deployable (or permanently deployed) solar panel. It has no tracking ability and the lowest nominal charge rate of any panel, but is extremely light. This gives it the best power/mass ratio, assuming one can keep the panel directly in sunlight. The OX-STAT is also less susceptible to breakage than other panels.

The OX-STAT is a non-deployable (or permanently deployed) solar panel. It has no tracking ability and the lowest nominal charge rate of any panel, but is extremely light. This gives it the best power/mass ratio, assuming one can keep the panel directly in sunlight. The OX-STAT is also less susceptible to breakage than other panels.

The OX-STAT solar panel is a simple panel with no sun-tracking or deployment mechanics. As a result, it is very light and cheap.
