"The lion's share of the International Space Station's electrical power comes from four sets of dual-panel solar arrays", one of which you can see moving here.
Actually, you can both of the port arrays, not just one.
BTW, each one is 240' x 40' producing maximum 30kW outside of the Earth's atmosphere. According to NASA, doesn't enough to power 10 homes, but go out and price a whole house backup generator and find out what is recommended. I do understanding running and start-up are to different things, but just remember these numbers whenever someone tells you the future is solar power.
