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)

This looks pretty nice! Can it handle parts which share assets or have multiple part per part.cfg file? I'd love to use it if it will work with the new B9 R3 pack.
