Abstract
The existence of an electrically conductive coating ensures potential uniformity on the surface of a solar array. The development and preparation of this coating are described.
The conductive layer consists of a very thin Sn doped In2O3 film which reduces the solar flux received at the cell’s surface by only 1–2%; it has a surface resistance of the order of 10 kΩ □ −1 and does not affect the equilibrium temperature of the cells. Results of space qualification tests indicate face that their properties remain unchanged under space environment condition.
