Fully flexible solar energy system
Description

Our company has developed a fully flexible solar energy system based on smart deformable composite materials. Featuring an integrated actuation and load-bearing design, the system can self-deploy, self-lock, and stiffen after deployment. It comes in multiple configurations, including pod-shaped and C-shaped booms.

These products have achieved the world’s first on-orbit commercial application of a rollable flexible solar array using smart composite materials, delivering up to 30% power generation efficiency in orbit.

Advantages
 Simple structure Low impact  Long release stroke

The flexible solar cell system driven by the winding and stretching mechanism has been applied on Shijian satellites, with a power to mass ratio 2-3 times higher than that of rigid solar cells.

The optical system light shield driven by the winding and stretching mechanism achieves deformable storage and low impact deployment in orbit.
