I just found this thread which should fill in the details a bit. Good luck!

You could probably get an idea of how to make the solar work by looking at the Gigantor XL solar panel part.cfg. There is a module that you could add to the part, but I'm not sure what requirements need to be met by the model. The module as found in that cfg: MODULE { name = ModuleDeployableSolarPanel animationName = bigsolarpanel raycastTransformName = suncatcher resourceName = ElectricCharge chargeRate = 14 powerCurve { key = 206000000000 0 0 0 key = 13599840256 1 0 0 key = 68773560320 0.5 0 0 key = 0 10 0 0 } }

I think that with the Ap, Pe and Radius® of Kerbin (or whatever body you're orbiting) you can find the semi-major and eccentricity. From a quick search: You need the radius from the body center to your Ap or Pe, so let: rA=Ap+R and rP=Pe+R sma = (rA + rP)/2 which can also be written as (Ap + Pe + 2*R)/2 e = (rA - rP) / (rA + rP) which can also be rewritten in terms of Ap, Pe and R as (Ap - Pe) / (Ap + Pe + 2*R)
