A: Standard rigid panel arrays and blanket arrays are available in under six months. Production runs have achieved delivery in as little as four months through customer funded expedite program. Custom configurations may require additional time.

SOURCE silicon modules and arrays are optimized for LEO missions below 1,000 km altitude. Above that altitude, in high-radiation MEO and GEO environments, silicon degrades without the self-healing properties of other cell technologies. Our CIGS-based MOD-0010, developed with Idemitsu Kosan, is designed for those environments and is planned for 2027 availability following a rigorous qualification campaign.

A: We do not publish pricing because program requirements vary meaningfully and we prefer to quote based on your actual mission. Indicative context: modules at approximately $5/W, rigid panel arrays as low as $60/W and blankets are approximately $25/W Our longer-term cost target for modules is sub-$3/W as manufacturing scale increases. Request a quote and we will respond with specifics for your program.

A: Yes. SOURCE is scaling to 10 MW of annual production capacity by the end of 2026, with a roadmap to 100 MW by 2027. We are already a qualified supplier to constellation-class programs. Multi-year supply agreements are available for programs that need capacity commitments across multiple launch campaigns.

A: SOURCE operates in Colorado. Our R&D facility is in Longmont, and our manufacturing facility is in Niwot, less than five miles apart. All of our products are domestically manufactured.

A: Body mount arrays are bonded directly to the spacecraft structure and carry no hinges. They offer the same power output and footprint as our deployable rigid panel configurations but are approximately 0.4kg lighter per panel. Deployable rigid panels extend away from the spacecraft body on orbit using a hinge mechanism. The right choice depends on your bus architecture and deployment requirements.

A: Yes. SOURCE's manufacturing model supports extended multi-panel arrays and deployable blankets for programs with higher power requirements. Our Array Design service can scope these custom configurations.

A: SOURCE products are warranted against material defects in material and workmanship for 12 months from delivery under normal use and service. Full warranty terms are available in our standard Terms and Conditions.

A: The fastest path is to submit a quote request at source.space with your power requirements, working envelope, orbit, bus architecture, and program timeline. Our team will review your enquiry and typically responds within one business day.

A: Source Energy Company's solar arrays have flown on orbit, including as the primary power source for Impulse Space's orbital transfer vehicle. The arrays have been in orbit since November of 2023.

A: Every array and module goes through a qualification program built to catch failure modes before they reach orbit. Source Energy Company's test capabilities include electroluminescence imaging for PV cell health, a 10-meter overhead gantry for deployment testing, thermal shock and hot vacuum chambers for lifetime and environmental testing, and both light IV and dark IV testing for on-orbit electrical performance and string health.

A: Configuration needs vary by mission, so Source Energy Company offers both body mount and rigid panel deployable options. Large deployable arrays use a pantograph boom mechanism, available in either an aluminum boom for cost-optimized missions or a carbon fiber boom for high-performance requirements, and support a range of stringing oltages and currents to interface with most battery transfer or peak power tracking electronics.
