SOLAR BATTERY PANEL Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC H01L31/42 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to design of panels of solar battery of unfolding type for artificial earth satellite – spacecraft. Solar battery panel comprises a frame made of carbon-fiber plastic pipes and fittings, and a net-band made of strings elastically stretched in orthogonal directions with the required pitch for arrangement and fixation of the photogenerating part. Frame tubes feature a triangular cross-section. Pipe walls have a lattice structure with cell size allowing to mount the cable inside pipes and frame fittings. Pipes are optionally reinforced at fitting points.

EFFECT: invention provides the possibility of reducing weight, as well as high technological effectiveness of the structure.
