ABSTRACT:
A power sphere has a curved surface upon which are mounted individual indivisible solar cells receiving differing amounts of solar illumination without solar tracking and pointing while providing respective differing amounts of solar power coupled through respective regulators onto a regulated bus for powering a connected load. The respective regulators continue to provide sufficient coupled power onto the bus even in the event of a failure of one or more of the solar cells thereby enabling graceful degradation of power delivery to the load for improved reliability of power delivery, particularly useful in space satellite systems.
