Single-wing array
One deployable wing extends from the spacecraft. Panel segmentation is a separate design choice.
FULLSUNS configuration guide | Configuration Example
Discuss configurationCustom Deployable Solar Arrays for CubeSats & Small Satellites
Discuss wing configuration, dimensions, electrical interfaces and deployment method for your mission.
Deployment architectures
Wing count and folding segment count describe different aspects of the design. These images are configuration references, not a stock-product catalogue.
Dual-wing array
Two wings extend from the spacecraft. Each wing may contain one or multiple panel segments.

Discuss configuration
Multi-wing array
More than two wings are evaluated against spacecraft geometry and deployment clearances.

Multi-panel folding array
Panel segments fold within a wing. Segment count does not define the number of wings.
FULLSUNS configuration guide | Configuration Example. Panel-level reference; folding geometry is project-specific.

Define the supply scope
Use the following items to define the proposed assembly. Included components, supplier responsibilities and engineering scope are confirmed in the project proposal.
Cells & solar panels
Model selection, cell layout and panel electrical configuration.
Substrates & structures
Substrate, panel frame and supporting structure requirements.
Hinges & deployment
Hinge geometry, travel and deployment approach.
Hold-down, release & locking
Launch restraint, release trigger and deployed locking interfaces.
Harnesses & connectors
Wiring, connector definition and deployment routing.
Mounting & sensor interfaces
Spacecraft attachment points and optional sensor accommodation.
Custom parameters
| Parameter | Selection basis |
|---|---|

Engineering verification plan
The proposal identifies which tasks are performed internally and which require an external laboratory. Test levels, facilities and acceptance criteria are agreed for the specific assembly; no blanket qualification or flight-heritage claim is implied.
Structural analysis
Review stiffness, load paths and interface loads against the agreed model and load cases.
Deployment tests
Define restraint, gravity compensation, deployment sequence and acceptance criteria for the configuration.
Electrical tests
Agree illumination, temperature, circuit configuration and measurement points before comparing output.
Environmental verification
Vibration, shock, acoustic and thermal-vacuum testing may be included in the project test plan after facility and configuration review.
