Overview
Solar panel side Z is an open-source printed circuit board by proveskit, from the proveskit/solar_boards repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board of 100 × 100 mm with 45 parts on 34 nets, routed with 3,161 tracks and 32 vias.
It is built around the ADS1015IDGS, DRV2605LDGS and VEML7700-TT, with the SM101K07TF and CDBA240LL-HF among its other parts. Its parts include 10 capacitors, 7 connectors, 6 resistors, 6 ICs and 4 diodes. It belongs with the power boards of this library.

README
README.mdsolar_boards
The solar panel boards for the PROVES Kit. Included in this repo are the 1U sized solar panels for the XY faces of the CubeSat and the 1U Z- Endcap solar panel.
Features
Each solar panel implements the following elements:
- 6x AnySolar KXOB101K08TF Solar Cells in a 2s3p configuration
- 1x Microchip MCP9808T-E/MC I2C Temperature Sensor
- 1x TI DRV2605LDGSR I2C Haptic Motor Drivers
- 1x Vishay VEML7700-TT Ambient Light Sensors
- 1x Fun Blue LED!
- 1x 5-pin Molex 1.5mm Pitch Picolock for VSolar, 3.3V Power, and I2C connections
Variants
- The bare_varients are functionally the same, but have additional artwork on them as the solar cells are not intended to be populated.
- The Z Face Combi design is an in testing variant of the Z- face that combines all of the interfacing for the adjacent solar faces. From there a single connector goes back to the EPS board, rather than all of the solar faces directly connecting to the EPS board as with the original EPS design.
Flight Heritage
*Version history for the solar boards is a little unclear, so we are going to datum the current version at V1 and go from there.

Questions
How big is the Solar panel side Z PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Solar panel side Z use?
45 parts, built around the ADS1015IDGS, DRV2605LDGS, VEML7700-TT and SM101K07TF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Solar panel side Z KiCad files?
From the proveskit/solar_boards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bare_varients/Z_Face/solar-panel-side-Z.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Solar panel side Z design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
