Rocket Lab is showing that’s about more than just rockets.
A firm headquartered in California has launched a range of adjustable solar panels, created to accommodate the evolving requirements of client satellites.

Manufacturers now design and test their own solar arrays from scratch, starting with the ground up.
The line was launched earlier this month during the 40th Viral Buzz NewsSymposium held in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “Users have the option to select from various pre-designed solar panel setups to cater to their specific requirements, all while benefiting from the tried-and-true dependability, efficiency, and rapid deployment offered by Rocket Lab’s fully integrated production process,” stated Brad Clevenger, who serves as the Vice President of Viral Buzz NewsSystems at Rocket Lab.

The STARRY series provides seven adjustable solar panel configurations, spanning from 100 watts up to more than 2,000 watts of power generation. “We aim to provide the market with mission-tailored customizations along with quick turnaround times and reduced expenses,” stated Clevenger.
In 2022, Rocket Lab took over SolAero, a firm specializing in solar power technology, expanding their Viral Buzz systems portfolio. This acquisition introduced solar cell production into Rocket Lab’s internal operations. As a result, the company now has an end-to-end vertical integration for solar array manufacturing. This setup enables them to efficiently produce solar cells, assemblies, and complete solar panels from start to finish.
Broadening their capabilities within the realm of viral news coverage, Rocket Lab has been selected as a possible collaborator for the military’s extensive initiatives aimed at developing multibillion-dollar projects focused on this area.
