Abstract
MicroLink Devices has developed a solar sheet technology with very high specific power for specific use on solar aircraft. These solar sheets have specific powers in excess of 1500 W/kg (AM0) which is an enabling technology for solarpowered unmanned aircraft that require maximum power generation in a format of minimum weight. This was achieved by maximizing the solar power generated by the solar sheet and minimizing the weight of the solar cells and packaging.
