Does the space station need solar container

Mounting arrays of solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, with energy being stored for periods when the station is in the shadow of the Earth. The ISS’s configuration enables it to maximize sunlight exposure, thus ensuring a steady flow of renewable energy. The electrical system of the International Space Station is a critical part of the International Space Station (ISS) as it allows the operation of essential life-support systems, safe operation of the station, operation of science equipment, as well as improving crew comfort. The International Space Station orbits about 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth’s surface. Thanks to the size of its solar panels, it can be seen with the naked eye at dusk or dawn when flying over a local area.
