A Solar Array on Orbit Output Power Prediction Method for Satellite

An satellite solar array power prediction tool and method is carried out in this paper. The prediction tool including satellite orbit analysis module, the incidence angle of sun light on solar panel analysis model. According to the satellite orbit parameters, the scheme of series-parallel solar cell strings designed, and the solar cell degradation character, we predict the output power of solar wings. The tool can help analyzing power and load balance, mission scheduling and automatic operate management.
