Satellites & Spacecraft Missions
Lightricity’s space solar cell product range is perfect for small satellites and spacecraft where high-efficiency, low-weight, and reliability are essential.
Space Solar
High-Efficiency PV
Lightricity develops high-efficiency solar photovoltaic systems designed for power-constrained space platforms such as CubeSats. The solution increases the amount of usable electrical power generated within strict size and mass limits, enabling more demanding payloads to operate on small satellite formats.
By combining advanced photovoltaic materials with compact panel design and integration approaches, the system delivers significantly higher power output without requiring larger satellite structures. This allows missions that previously required larger spacecraft to be deployed on smaller, lower-cost platforms.
Uncompromised CubeSat Capability
Enables high-power CubeSat missions
Supports payloads such as Earth observation sensors and telecommunications systems that require more energy than standard CubeSat power systems can provide.
Increases power generation within fixed constraints
Delivers a step-change in energy output without increasing the size or mass of the satellite platform.
Reduces mission cost and risk
Allows high-performance missions to operate on CubeSats instead of larger satellites, lowering launch and development costs.
Expands mission capability and design flexibility
Removes power as a primary constraint, allowing more complex instruments, longer operational periods, and broader mission profiles.
Maintains compatibility with standard CubeSat architectures
Designed for integration into existing CubeSat formats without requiring fundamental redesign of the platform.
Features
Engineered to increase energy output, integrate within standard platforms, and support more demanding mission payloads without increasing size or mass.
Space Solar
High-efficiency power generation
Advanced photovoltaic design increases energy output from a limited CubeSat surface area.
Compact, lightweight integration
Panel system fits within standard CubeSat size and mass constraints without requiring platform redesign.
Optimized panel architecture and deployment
Engineered layout and mechanisms maximize solar exposure and total power yield in orbit.
