Two reference systems are included in the NASA/DOE reference set - gallium arsenide (GaAs) and silicon (Si). Both the GaAs and Si photovoltaic concepts are coplanar and have a single microwave antenna located at the end of the satellite to provide 5 gigawatts (GW) of power at the utility interface. Impacts are reported that would result to the reference concept from these alternatives to microwave conversion, photovoltaic techniques, solar concentration ratio, and power distribution voltage. 3 refs.
