Cool, ET!

Some time ago I was trying to integrate their work into a parametric lunar base model that I've been developing forever. There were a couple of rather big unknown variables, mainly:

- How much power does it take to create the lunar photovoltaics?

- Theoretically, what kind of effeciency could we expect from lunar photovoltaics, if a broad effort to develop them was undertaken?

- I have no way of estimating the ratio between the mass of the production rover, and the amount of photovoltaics it can produce in a day. Even an order-of-magnitude estimate would be quite helpful.

If you could get any or all of these questions answered, that would be fantastic!

Thanks,

Nathan.
