Our Thought Process
Solar panels are located both on the lander and on the rover. Both vehicles have silver-zinc batteries that can store the charge for later use. They both will land on the moon charged, the rover will be charged to its max and the lander will be charged 90% of the way, to allow testing of our solar panel system.
Silver-zinc batteries were the battery of our choice because they are 30% more efficient than lithium-ion and do not react to water.
The main solar panels for the lander are located on the fuel tanks. Because they are on all four sides, they can captures sunlight at any point of the day, no matter where the sun is located in the sky.
The solar panels on the rover resemble those of the Mars rovers. The center panels do not move or pivot but those on the sides and the back do. There is one panel per side and a split fin design for the panel on the back of our rover. Again, these can pivot to provide for maximum photon extraction.
