Abstract
A vehicle such as an aircraft on which a solar cell assembly is mounted on a surface of the space vehicle. The solar cell assembly may be prepared on an assembly fixture. The solar cell assembly may then be removed from the assembly fixture and positioned on a top surface of the streamlined body of the vehicle. In examples, the solar cell assembly comprises a first film, an array of solar cells on top of the first film, and a second silicone film deposited over the solar cells.
