solar arrays
Photovoltaic power sheets
Solar arrays are collections of solar panels arranged together to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
The term appears in contexts ranging from rooftop installations to spacecraft power systems: The space station extends its solar arrays to track the sun.
A single solar panel is not an array; the word implies multiple units working as a system.
