1976 NASA SPS Engineering and Economic Analysis Summary

Figure 7-16. Individual solar array and conductor masses versus distribution losses. A minimum system weight occurs when the summation of the solar array and power conductor masses combine to a minimum value. A surprisingly high power loss of 13. 5 percent was found to yield the minimum system mass as shown in Figure 7-17. Figure 7-17. Solar array plus conductor mass.
