A photovoltaic (PV) power generation subsystem was selected for the Space Station. A PV system has solar arrays for power generation and chemical energy storage (batteries) to store excess solar array energy during periods of sunlight and to provide power during periods of shade. Power for the station is provided by flexible, deployable solar array wings. Each 39-foot by 112-foot (11.9 m by 34.2 m) wing consists of two blanket assemblies covered with solar cells. Each pair of blankets is supported by an extendable mast. 2, record 1, English, - photovoltaic%20power%20generation%20subsystem
