[0081] Existing thin-film solar cell arrays are often connected to spacecraft through fixed supports, and flexible membranes that can be stretched or rolled are provided on the fixed supports. The flexible membranes are kept in a contracted state during transportation to improve stability and reduce occupied space, thereby reducing transportation difficulty. During on-orbit operation, the flexible membranes are expanded to absorb solar energy and provide energy. Since it is difficult to perform manual operation in space environment, on-orbit operation of the thin-film solar cell array is automated.
[0082] At present, the stretching and shrinking of the thin film solar cell array usually adopts the structure of a combination of a pod rod and a shaft cylinder, the pod rod is connected to a fixed support for bearing the cell film, and the shaft cylinder is connected to the end of the pod rod away from the fixed support, and the pod rod is wound through the driving mechanism arranged on the shaft cylinder to achieve the effect of winding the cell film at the same time. However, after the cell film is used in space, it is easy to be deformed and warped, which leads to the difficulty in winding and affects the maintenance and long-term operation efficiency of the thin film solar cell array.
[0083] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, a kind of for winding type thin film solar cell array Repeatable mechanism of unfolding and rolling up is disclosed, wherein, including reel 10, two supports 30, flatten assembly 40, tight assembly 50 and press assembly 60, the reel 10 is used to wind solar cell film 20;Two described supports 30 are respectively arranged at the both ends of the reel 10;The flatten assembly 40 is arranged on the support 30, for smoothing the solar cell film 20;The tight assembly 50 is arranged on the support 30, for tensioning the solar cell film 20;The press assembly 60 is arranged on the support 30, for pressing the solar cell film 20 to the reel 10;The flatten assembly 40, the tight assembly 50 and the press assembly 60 are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the reel 10.
[0084] The Repeatable mechanism of unfolding and rolling up disclosed in the embodiment is used for winding type thin film solar cell array, when spacecraft enters orbit, reel 10 is forwardly rotated, and the solar cell film 20 is rolled out by relying on the elastic potential energy stored in the solar cell film 20.When it is needed to be rolled up, reel 10 is reversely rotated, and the solar cell film 20 is first smoothed by the flatten assembly 40, and then is wound on the surface of reel 10. In the process of winding on reel 10, the tight assembly 50 is closely attached to the solar cell film 20, so that the solar cell film 20 is tensioned, local accumulation is avoided, the extrusion and abrasion between the inner and outer layers of the solar cell film 20 are reduced, and damage is avoided;The press assembly 60 extrudes the solar cell film 20 after tensioning to be fastened on reel 10.
[0085] It can be seen that through the actions of smoothing, tensioning and extruding, the Repeatable mechanism of unfolding and rolling up disclosed in the embodiment automatically winds up the solar cell film 20 flatly, reduces the space occupied in the shrinking state, reduces the risk of winding operation, is conducive to improving the accuracy and working efficiency of on-orbit recovery operation, facilitates transportation, and facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the thin film solar cell array.
[0086] As Figure 3As another embodiment of the present application, the reel 10 is disclosed to comprise a first spindle 11, a second spindle 12, two driving motors 13, a winding shaft 14, two rollers 15 and two auxiliary spindles 16.
[0087] The first spindle 11 is provided with two, and the two first spindles 11 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the second spindle 12; the second spindle 12 and the two first spindles 11 are arranged in a straight line, and the two supports 30 are respectively arranged at the ends of the two first spindles 11; and the second spindle 12 and the first spindle 11 are connected through a shaft coupling.

[0088] The first spindle 11 can be driven to rotate by the two driving motors 13, and the second spindle 12 is synchronously rotated, so as to achieve the effect that the winding shaft 14 and the rollers 15 are synchronously rotated. The solar cell film 20 disclosed in the embodiment comprises a thin film battery array surface 21 and two pod rods 22, the two pod rods 22 are symmetrically arranged at the two sides of the thin film battery array surface 21; the thin film battery array surface 21 is connected with the winding shaft 14 and can be wound on the winding shaft 14; and the pod rods 22 extend into the rollers 15.
[0089] The thin film battery array surface 21 is wound on the winding shaft 14, and the pod rods 22 are wound on the rollers 15, so that the entire solar cell film 20 can be orderly and flatly rolled up on the reel 10.
[0090] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment, the rollers 15 are provided with the auxiliary spindles 16, the first clamping heads 17 and the second clamping heads 18, the first clamping heads 17 and the second clamping heads 18 are simultaneously slidably arranged on the fixed frame 19, the auxiliary spindle 16 is drivingly connected with the first spindle 11, the first clamping head 17 is engaged with the second spindle 12, and the second clamping head 18 is engaged with the auxiliary spindle 16; when the first spindle 11 drives the auxiliary spindle 16 to rotate, the first clamping head 17 and the second clamping head 18 are close to each other, and the pod rods 22 are clamped.
[0091] The first spindle 11 and the auxiliary spindle 16 are arranged side by side in the embodiment, the driving gear 111 and the driven gear 161 are respectively sleeved on the first spindle 11 and the auxiliary spindle 16, the auxiliary spindle 16 is drivingly connected with the first spindle 11 through gear engagement, and the rotation directions of the first spindle 11 and the auxiliary spindle 16 are opposite at this time.
[0092] On this basis, the first clamp head 17 is driven by the first linkage rack 171 and the first mandrel 11, and the second clamp head 18 is driven by the second linkage rack 181 and the secondary mandrel 16, so that when the first mandrel 11 and the secondary mandrel 16 rotate reversely synchronously, the first clamp head 17 and the second clamp head 18 can approach each other to clamp the pod rod 22 inserted into the roller 15 and flatten and clamp the pod rod 22.
[0093] Further, when the first clamp head 17 and the second clamp head 18 abut against each other, the secondary mandrel 16 cannot continue to rotate, and the secondary mandrel 16, the first clamp head 17 and the second clamp head 18 in the roller 15 are locked, and the whole is driven to rotate by the driving motor 13 to start to wind the pod rod 22.

Therefore, when the solar cell film 20 is folded onto the surface of the winding drum 10, it is in a flat state, which is conducive to the adhesion of the winding drum 10 and reduces the gap, creating conditions for non-destructive winding.

The pressing rod 42 disclosed in the embodiment has two, one of which is arranged above the solar cell film 20, and at this time, the two ends of the connecting rail 421 are respectively connected with the first slides 413 of the two driving structures 41; the other pressing rod 42 is arranged below the solar cell film 20, and at this time, the two ends of the connecting rail 421 are respectively connected with the second slides 414 of the two driving structures 41.
[0105] Similarly, on the pressing rod 42 arranged above the solar cell film 20 in the embodiment, the first connecting seat 425 and the second connecting seat 426 are respectively arranged on the two first slides 413, and on the pressing rod 42 arranged below the solar cell film 20, the first connecting seat 425 and the second connecting seat 426 are respectively arranged on the two second slides 414. The first connecting seat 425 is kept stable and is used to carry the first transmission structure 427; the second connecting seat 426 is kept stable and is used to carry the second transmission structure 428.
[0106] Specifically, the first connecting piece 422 and the second connecting piece 423 in the embodiment are slidably arranged on the connecting rail 421; one end of the supporting rod 424 is hinged with the first connecting piece 422, and the other end is hinged with the second connecting piece 423. The first connecting piece 422 and the second connecting piece 423 are used as an intermediate connecting structure, and the supporting rod 424 is movably assembled on the connecting rail 421.
[0107] Specifically, the first transmission structure 427 is arranged on the first connecting seat 425; one end of the first transmission structure 427 is connected with the first rack 4131 or the second rack 4141, and the other end is connected with the first connecting piece 422; the first transmission structure 427 is used to drive the first connecting piece 422 to move in a direction away from the first connecting seat 425. The second transmission structure 428 is arranged on the second connecting seat 426. One end of the second transmission structure 428 is connected with the first rack 4131 or the second rack 4141, and the other end is connected with the second connecting piece 423; the second transmission structure 428 is used to drive the second connecting piece 423 to move in a direction away from the second connecting seat 426.
[0108] The first transmission structure 427 and the second transmission structure 428 disclosed in the embodiment are used to transmit the movement of the first rack 4131 and the second rack 4141 to the first connecting piece 422 and the second connecting piece 423. When the driving motors 411 on both sides are started at the same time, the transmission gear 415 first drives the first sliding seat 413 and the second sliding seat 414 to move towards each other, so that the two pressing rods 42 press the solar cell film 20; at the same time, the movement of the first rack 4131 and the second rack 4141 also drives the first transmission structure 427 and the second transmission structure 428, so that the first connecting piece 422 and the second connecting piece 423 move towards each other to generate a pressing force on the pressing rod 424.
[0109] Specifically, the pressing rod 424 includes a left rod body and a right rod body hinged at a midpoint position; when the first connecting piece 422 and the second connecting piece 423 move towards each other, the midpoint of the pressing rod 424 moves in a direction away from the winding drum 10, so that the included angle between the left rod body and the right rod body decreases. In other words, the midpoint of the pressing rod 424 moves in a direction away from the winding drum 10, and at this time, the included angle between the left rod body and the right rod body decreases from 180° to 120°-150°, and the pressing rod 424 changes from a straight line to a ">" shape.
[0110] During the retraction process, the solar cell film 20 passes between the two pressure rods 42, first contacting the guide rod 424, and then contacting the two first slides 413 or the two second slides 414. Since the guide rod 424 becomes ">" shaped, it generates an inclined pushing force when contacting the solar cell film 20. This force can be specifically decomposed into longitudinal and transverse smoothing forces, pushing the warped portion of the solar cell film 20 to both sides. This prevents localized folding of the solar cell film 20 during the flattening process, allowing it to fully unfold. After the guide rod 424 flattens the solar cell film 20, it is further compressed by the connecting guide rail 421 of the two pressure rods 42, making the thickness of the solar cell film 20 more uniform and further improving its flatness. Therefore, when the solar cell film 20 is subsequently retracted onto the surface of the roll 10, it maintains contact with the surface of the roll 10, improving the flatness of the roll 10 surface and reducing the occurrence of mutual compression between the inner and outer layers of the solar cell film 20.
[0111] For example Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the first transmission structure 427 is disclosed to include a linkage screw 4271, a linkage gear 4272, a linkage nut 4273, a linkage connecting rod 4274, and a linkage spring 4275. The linkage screw 4271 is rotatably inserted into the first connecting seat 425; the linkage gear 4272 is disposed on the linkage screw 4271; the linkage gear 4272 meshes with the first rack 4131 or the second rack 4141, or the linkage gear 4272 meshes with both the first rack 4131 and the second rack 4141 simultaneously; the linkage nut 4273 is sleeved on the linkage screw 4271; one end of the linkage rod 4274 is connected to the linkage nut 4273, and the other end passes through the countersunk pin hole of the first connecting member 422 and is allowed to move, while the end boss prevents the linkage rod 4274 from dislodging from the countersunk pin hole; one end of the linkage spring 4275 abuts against the first connecting member 422, and the other end is used to abut against the first slide 413 or the second slide 414.
[0112] In this embodiment, the linkage gear 4272 meshes with either the first rack 4131 or the second rack 4141, causing the linkage gear 4272 to rotate as the first slide 413 / second slide 414 moves up and down. When the linkage gear 4272 rotates, it drives the linkage screw 4271 to rotate, forcing the linkage nut 4273 on the linkage screw 4271 to move relative to the first connecting member 422 via the linkage link 4274. Simultaneously, the linkage spring 4275 abuts against the first connecting member 422, thus generating a thrust on the first connecting member 422.
[0113] The first case, when the pressure rod 42 needs to move in the opposite direction, the linkage nut 4273 moves towards the first connecting piece 422, under the pushing force of the linkage spring 4275, the linkage nut 4273 keeps the same distance with the first connecting piece 422 and moves synchronously, the end boss of the linkage connecting rod 4274 is always clamped into the countersunk pin hole of the first connecting piece 422.
[0114] The second case, when the pressure rod 42 needs to move in the opposite direction, the linkage nut 4273 moves away from the first connecting piece 422, the end boss of the linkage connecting rod 4274 is clamped into the countersunk pin hole of the first connecting piece 422, and the first connecting piece 422 is driven to move synchronously.
[0115] The third case, at the end of the battery array folding stage, the midpoint of the pressing rod 424 is fixed by the fixed end support 70 and moves towards the winding drum 10, the pressure rod 42 moves in the opposite direction, at this time the driving motor 411 is powered off and self-locked, the linkage nut 4273 keeps still, the driving part changes from the linkage gear 4272 to the first connecting piece 422, the first connecting piece 422 moves towards the linkage nut 4273, and the linkage spring 4275 is compressed with enough force, at the same time, the end boss of the linkage connecting rod 4274 moves out of the countersunk pin hole of the first connecting piece 422.
[0116] Thus, the goal of pushing the first connecting piece 422 to move back and forth on the connecting rail 421 is achieved, and the effect of applying force to the pressing rod 424 is achieved.
[0117] Specifically, in another embodiment of the present embodiment, the second transmission structure 428 is completely the same as the first transmission structure 427, and also adopts the gear transmission mode to push the second connecting piece 423 to move.
[0118] For example Figure 7 As another embodiment of the present application, it is disclosed that the pressure rod 42 comprises a support sliding block 429 and a support rod 430, the support sliding block 429 is slidably arranged on the connecting rail 421, one end of the support rod 430 is hinged with the support sliding block 429, and the other end is hinged with the pressing rod 424. The support sliding block 429 is also arranged on the connecting rail 421, so that the support sliding block 429, the connecting rail 421 and the pressing rod 424 are connected into one body to form a four-bar linkage structure, and the structural stability of the pressure rod 42 is improved.
[0119] When the two ends of the handle 424 are pressed at the same time, the handle 424 bends, the supporting slider 429 moves, and the supporting rod 430 forms an angle with the connecting guide rail 421, so that the supporting rod 430 "tops" behind the handle 424, thereby providing a supporting force and improving the stability of the handle 424. During the folding process, the warping position on the surface of the solar cell film 20 will generate a reverse force on the handle 424, and the force on the handle 424 is transmitted to the connecting guide rail 421 through the supporting rod 430, so that the force on the pressure rod 42 is dispersed, thereby avoiding the breakage or deformation of the handle 424 and improving the bending resistance of the pressure rod 42.
[0120] Specifically, the two pressure rods 42 disclosed in the embodiment have the same structure, that is, the upper and lower sides of the solar cell film 20 are simultaneously pressed by the two handles 424, the first sliding seat 413 and the second sliding seat 414, so that the solar cell film 20 is kept in the position when it is unfolded and does not produce deflection, distortion or folding, and can be folded in order.
[0121] As shown in Figure 9 As another embodiment of the present application, the wrapping assembly 50 includes a square tube 51, an elastic expansion piece 52 and a wrapping belt 53. The square tube 51 is parallel to the winding drum 10 and is arranged between the two supports 30. The elastic expansion piece 52 is sleeved on the square tube 51. One end of the wrapping belt 53 is connected with the elastic expansion piece 52, and the other end is curved along the circumference of the winding drum 10 and extends to the pressing assembly 60. The wrapping belt 53 is used to attach the solar cell film 20 on the winding drum 10.
[0122] In the embodiment, the two ends of the square tube 51 can be connected with the supports 30 by angle irons 511, so that the square tube 51 remains stable and parallel to the winding drum 10. During the folding process, the winding drum 10 rotates, and the solar cell film 20 on the surface of the winding drum 10 is folded. When the solar cell film 20 rotates along the circumference of the winding drum 10, it sequentially passes through the flattening assembly 40, the pressing assembly 60 and the wrapping assembly 50. When the solar cell film 20 contacts the wrapping belt 53, a friction force is generated between them, and the solar cell film 20 is constrained between the wrapping belt and the winding shaft 14 and the drum 15.
[0123] Of course, the torsional force of the rotating winding drum 10 is greater than the friction force provided by the wrapping belt 53, so the solar cell film 20 will continue to rotate and be wound on the winding drum 10. At the same time, the friction force provided by the wrapping belt 53 is opposite to the rotating direction of the solar cell film 20, so as to tighten the solar cell film 20, make the solar cell film 20 taut, reduce the gap between the inner and outer layers of the solar cell film 20, avoid the local stacking of the solar cell film 20, and make the folding effect better.
[0124] Specifically, during the winding process, as the volume of the solar cell film 20 on the drum 10 increases, the diameter of the drum 10 also increases. The tightening strap 53 adheres more and more tightly to the solar cell film 20, increasing friction and potentially causing a decrease in the rotational speed of the drum 10 or even breakage of the tightening strap 53. By connecting the tightening strap 53 with an elastic telescopic member 52, when the tension on the tightening strap 53 is sufficiently high, the elastic telescopic member 52 can be stretched, increasing the space between the tightening strap 53 and the drum 10. This avoids excessive friction between the tightening strap 53 and the solar cell film 20, balancing the rolling speed of the drum 10 and the tension generated by the tightening strap 53, thus improving the safety of the mechanism.
[0125] Specifically, the elastic telescopic member 52 includes a connecting plate 523 and a plurality of connecting rings 521 sleeved on the square tube 51, and a constant force spring 522 is provided on the connecting ring 521; one side of the connecting plate 523 is connected to the constant force spring 522, and the other side is connected to the wrapping strap 53.
[0126] The elastic telescopic member 52 disclosed in this embodiment is provided with elastic force by multiple constant force springs 522 fixed on the square tube 51. The multiple constant force springs 522 are connected to the connecting part, so that the force points on the connecting plate 523 are more uniform. When the wrapping strap 53 pulls the connecting plate 523, the connecting plate 523 can remain stable and avoid local stress.
[0127] The constant force spring 522 stores elastic potential energy. When the connecting plate 523 is subjected to force and tends to move away from the square tube 51, the constant force spring 522 can provide tension to keep the connecting plate 523 stable. When the pressure between the wrapping tape 53 and the solar cell film 20 increases and excessive friction is generated, the constant force spring 522 is stretched by the wrapping tape 53; thus, the space between the wrapping tape 53 and the drum 10 increases, and the friction between the wrapping tape 53 and the solar cell film 20 decreases, so that the wrapping tape 53 will not be broken and the rolling of the drum 10 will not be affected.
[0128] like Figure 10 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the pressing assembly 60 is disclosed to include a first fixed seat 61, a second fixed seat 62, a first sliding block 63, a second sliding block 64, a pressing roller shaft 65, a first elastic element 66, a second elastic element 67, a movable support rod 68, and a fixing ring 69.
[0129] The first fixed seat 61 and the second fixed seat 62 are respectively arranged on the two supports 30; the first fixed seat 61 is provided with a first linear slide rail 611 and a first guide rail 612; the second fixed seat 62 is provided with a second linear slide rail 621 and a second guide rail 622; and the first linear slide rail 611 and the second linear slide rail 621 are arranged in parallel, the first guide rail 612 and the second guide rail 622 are arranged in parallel and are parallel to the first linear slide rail 611 and the second linear slide rail 621, and the first linear slide rail 611, the second linear slide rail 621, the first guide rail 612 and the second guide rail 622 all extend towards the winding drum 10.
[0130] The first sliding block 63 is slidably arranged on the first linear slide rail 611 and the first guide rail 612; and the second sliding block 64 is slidably arranged on the second linear slide rail 621 and the second guide rail 622. By simultaneously arranging the first linear slide rail 611 and the first guide rail 612, the first sliding block 63 can be kept stable and the lateral inclination during sliding can be reduced; similarly, by arranging the second linear slide rail 621 and the second guide rail 622, the stability of the second sliding block 64 can be increased. In turn, the stability of the compression roller shaft 65 can be improved, the deviation of the compression roller shaft 65 can be reduced, and the compression roller shaft 65 can be better attached to the surface of the winding drum 10.
[0131] The compression roller shaft 65 disclosed in the embodiment can move towards the surface of the winding drum 10 under the guidance of the first linear slide rail 611 and the second linear slide rail 621 to abut against the solar cell film 20.
[0132] Specifically, the first fixed seat 61 and the second fixed seat 62 are respectively fixed on the two supports 30, the first linear slide rail 611 and the second linear slide rail 621 are arranged in parallel, so that both ends of the movable support rod 68 can move flexibly and in the same direction, so that the compression roller shaft 65 can translate in the direction towards the winding drum 10, uniformly press the solar cell film 20 in the width direction of the winding drum 10, and make the folding effect of the solar cell film 20 better.
[0133] The compression roller shaft 65 in the embodiment can be a shaft rod or a linear rod body composed of a plurality of shaft rods connected in sequence. The first elastic member 66 is sleeved on the first linear sliding rail 611; the second elastic member 67 is sleeved on the second linear sliding rail 621; one end of the movable support rod 68 is arranged on the first sliding block 63, and the other end of the movable support rod 68 is arranged on the second sliding block 64; a plurality of fixing rings 69 are arranged on the movable support rod 68 at intervals, one end of the fixing ring 69 is sleeved on the movable support rod 68, and the other end of the fixing ring 69 is sleeved on the compression roller shaft 65, the movable support rod 68 and the compression roller shaft 65 are connected into an integrated body through the fixing ring 69, and the stability of the compression roller shaft 65 is increased.
[0134] Specifically, the first elastic member 66 and the second elastic member 67 are in a compressed state, the first elastic member 66 is used for pushing the first sliding block 63 towards the winding drum 10, and the second elastic member 67 is used for pushing the second sliding block 64 towards the winding drum 10. The first elastic member 66 and the second elastic member 67 provide a pushing force, so that the first sliding block 63 and the second sliding block 64 maintain a moving trend towards the winding drum 10, that is, the compression roller shaft 65 maintains an abutting state with the surface of the winding drum 10, so that the inner and outer layers of the solar cell film 20 are tightly attached, and the folding effect is further improved.
[0135] Specifically, the first elastic member 66 and the second elastic member 67 in the embodiment include but are not limited to springs. The springs provide stable elastic force, and have simple and stable structure, long service life, and are beneficial to long-term use in space environment.
[0136] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the working process of the repeatable folding and unfolding mechanism in another embodiment of the application is as follows:
[0137] When the folding and winding type thin film solar cell array is folded, the driving motor 13 first drives the first clamp 17 and the second clamp 18 to flatten and tighten the flexible steel sheet in the pod rod 22, and then the driving motor 13 continues to rotate to drive the roller 15 and the winding shaft 14 to rotate, so as to drive the pod rods 22 on both sides to be wound on the roller 15, and drive the thin film cell array surface 21 to be wound on the winding shaft 14.
[0138] At the same time when the driving motor 13 starts, the driving motor 411 also starts to drive the two pressing rods 42 to move close to each other until the gap between the two pressing rods 42 is only wide enough to pass through the flattened pod rod 22 and the thin film cell array surface 21, and the two pressing rods 424 are changed from a flat state to an inclined state, so that the pressing rods 424 can exert longitudinal and transverse flattening force on the thin film cell array surface 21 to push the warped part of the thin film cell array surface 21 flat.
[0139] In the winding process, the wrapping belt 53 is always in close contact with the thin-film battery array surface 21 on the winding drum 10, and the reverse pulling force provided by the constant force spring 522 keeps the thin-film battery array surface 21 in a tensioned state, closely attached to the surface of the winding drum 10. At the same time, the compression roller shaft 65 further presses the thin-film battery array surface 21 and the pod rod 22, and presses the pod rod 22 and the thin-film battery array surface 21 to the same thickness, so that the winding length is consistent.
[0140] In the last stage of winding, the winding drum 10 moves to the other end of the pod rod 22, contacts the fixed end support 70, and the rod 424 is gradually returned to the flat state from the curved state and is accommodated in the fixed end support 70, achieving accommodation.
[0141] In summary, the application discloses a repeatable unfolding and folding mechanism for a wound thin-film solar cell array, which comprises a winding drum 10, two supports 30, an unfolding assembly 40, a wrapping assembly 50 and a compression assembly 60.

The unfolding assembly 40, the wrapping assembly 50 and the compression assembly 60 are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the winding drum 10. The unfolding assembly 40 comprises two driving structures 41 arranged on the two supports 30 respectively, and two pressing rods 42 arranged between the two supports 30. The two pressing rods 42 are oppositely arranged and are located above and below the solar cell film 20 respectively. The two ends of the pressing rod 42 are connected with the two driving structures 41 respectively, and the two driving structures 41 are used for driving the two pressing rods 42 to move towards or away from each other. The repeatable unfolding and folding mechanism disclosed in the embodiment automatically folds the solar cell film 20 flat through flattening, tensioning and extruding, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy and work efficiency of the on-orbit recovery operation, so as to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the thin-film solar cell array.
