TIE fighter
Solar power technology is a method of energy generation used mainly by the Imperial TIE fighter, which features in many "Star Wars" films and other media. According to the "TIE Fighter Owner's Workshop Manual", these spacecraft are fitted with two hexagonal wings that have six trapezoidal solar arrays on both sides which collect energy from nearby stars and use it to power the fighter's ion engines. Another "Star Wars" ship noted for using solar power is the solar sailer piloted by Count Dooku (Christoper Lee) in "Attack of the Clones" and other media. It deploys a solar sail wide which captures interstellar energy in order to travel without requiring fuel.
