-Since solar power is the primary energy source of the Odyssey, the primary design considerations have been efficiency and reliability. The biggest challenge was to find solar panels with at least 20% efficiency that actually would physically fit on the constrained roof space of the Odyssey. After a long and thorough market analysis, the following components have been selected, matched and obtained to supply the Odyssey with solar energy.+Since solar power is the primary energy source of the Odyssey, the primary design considerations have been efficiency and reliability. Although there seem to be [[https://apollo.open-resource.org/mission:log:2014:11:28:using-nanopatterns-from-blu-ray-discs-to-boost-pv-solar-conversion-efficiency|advances in solar technology]], biggest challenge was to find solar panels with at least 20% conversion efficiency that actually would physically fit on the constrained roof space of the Odyssey.

-Although the panels will not stop converting energy after the peak four hours, the current will probably drop soon enough. As of now there is still not enough data to conclude anything but simulations in the [[https://apollo.open-resource.org/flight-control/vfcc/|VFCC]] are helping to get an [[https://apollo.open-resource.org/flight-control/vfcc/#/dashboard/db/odyssey-solar-power|estimation]].+Although the panels will not stop converting energy after the peak four hours, the current will probably drop soon enough.
