Solar cells are obtained by singulating a non-rectangular solar cell wafer into a plurality of solar cells, in one embodiment a first solar cell having a surface area corresponding to at least 60% of the wafer surface area but less than 90% of the wafer surface area, and at least two second solar cells each having a surface area of less than 10% of the wafer surface area. Such a first solar cell can be connected in parallel with a plurality of the second solar cells, to establish a substantially rectangular subassembly, and such subassemblies can be combined into a larger solar cell assembly, which may be mounted on a support including other electrical components on the backside thereof, and attached to a small satellite (e.g., CubeSat) exterior surface, or deployable wing.
