This paper presents the changing dependence of the required weight and required cost in the specific characteristics of microsatellite power supply system for the Earth remote sensing from the deployment angles of non-oriented solar panels for the different orbital parameters (orbital altitude and local transit time of orbit ascending node, which is determined by the angle between the orbit plane and the direction to the Sun). The obtained results make it possible to estimate the change of power supply system specific weight and specific cost for different deployment angles of the solar panels and determine the most rational geometry of photovoltaic batteries.
