OverviewStation to shuttle power transfer systemSolar array wingBatteriesPower management and distribution
From 2007 the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS; pronounced spits) allowed a docked Space Shuttle to make use of power provided by the International Space Station''s solar arrays. Use of this system reduced usage of a shuttle''s on-board power-generating fuel cells, allowing it to stay docked to the space station for an additional four days. SSPTS was a shuttle upgrade that replaced the Assembly Power Converter Unit (APCU) with a

China''s space lab module powered by huge, flexible solar panels
The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) has revealed that the first lab module of China''s space station is being powered by a "pair of wings" composed of huge, flexible solar arrays.
Mir Space Station
Launched in 1989, the Kvant II module was attached to one of the radial berthing ports on the core module. The 45-ft-long (13.6-m), 14-ft-diameter (4-m) module produces 7 KW of power from solar
