Pumpkin’s Modular Deployable Solar Array System (PMDSAS) technology combines materials, processes, design innovations and technologies to manufacture both fixed and deployable solar panels for nanosatellites. Pumpkin offers a wide variety of CubeSat-compatible solar panels depending on your requirements. Standard, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) panels are available, as well as custom designs. Pumpkin designs both fixed and deployable panels along with associated mechanical hardware (hinges, release mechanisms, etc.); nearly all of this hardware is custom designed and manufactured by Pumpkin.
Standard panels use Spectrolab CIC1 30.7% NeXt Triple Junction (XTJ) Prime Solar Cells and are made using an FR4-based substrate that come in .031in [0.79mm] to .062in [1.57mm] thicknesses. Panels are typically 3.25in [82.55mm] wide.
In the event that our standard panels don’t meet the requirements of your mission, Pumpkin can work with you to create a custom solution.
