Ksp deploy solar panels.
Select custom1 or whichever number you would like the action to bind to.
Attached even on the outside to a payload part.
Finally if the power level is pretty much dead there will not be enough power to extend the power collecting solar cells at least i ve noticed that on unmanned probes.
Any help for this silly noob would be greatly appreciated.
Also the option becomes disabled if they are stowed i e.
At least i can t extend panels when any level of time speed up is on.
Adding the solar panel radially allows a perfect orientation at all thrusting directions.
Solar panels will provide power while on the sunny side of body rtgs will work day and night.
They range from small concentrated solar panels to massive blanket solar arrays.
Now when your in the flight scene when you press one on the keyboard it will deploy the panels.
For the life of me i cannot find an answer online on how to deploy the solar array.

One panel creates enough energy to keep one ix 6315 dawn electric propulsion system at maximum thrust and a distance to kerbol similar to that of kerbin under the premise that it is able to orient itself perfectly to the sun.
You can transfer fuel from tanks and docked ships this way.
Right click the solar array and select extend panels.
Click on the action groups icon at the top of the screen.
This pack contains various solar panels that i ve sourced from spacecraft concepts.
