A pair of interconnected vertical solar arrays at two preselected lunar sites are provided. A cable transmits power between one of the vertical solar arrays and the other vertical solar array, so that one of the vertical solar arrays can send collected energy to other vertical solar array, when the other vertical solar array is not collecting energy, to maintain the temperature of the other vertical solar array. A power storage device receives solar energy from the vertical solar arrays. A charging interface distributes energy to one or more lunar devices on the lunar surface. A landing vehicle has a payload thereon for carrying at least one of the pair of interconnected vertical solar arrays, the cable, the power storage device, and the charging interface.
