How advanced is the solar panel technology on China''s Tiangong

Tiangong Space Station uses 4 pairs of flexible triple-junction gallium arsenide solar panels to generate electricity, with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of more than 30%, and a power supply of more
Tiangong-1

Structurally, Tiangong-1 was divided into two primary sections: a resource module, which mounted its solar panels and propulsion systems, and a larger, habitable experimental module.
