Data from literary sources, recommendations of international standards and the authors' own experimental and theoretical results of work are analyzed and generalized to substantiate the choice of materials, components and radio products intended for the manufacture of modern solar-powered space batteries. The main attention is paid to the issues of the resistance of materials and solar cell elements to the effects of the surrounding space environment to ensure long-term trouble-free operation of a spacecraft. The choice of materials and components for survivability and resistance to external influence for use in various types of spacecraft from small and ultra small to geostationary satellites is justified. An assessment is made of the quality and reliability of modern components and materials for solar batteries with a large number of references to the sources used. Review of the materials and components used in practice, reliable and having a good flight history, including solders, adhesives, sealants, insulating films is performed as well as components: various types of solar panels, photoelectric converters, protective diodes, temperature sensors, interconnections, busbars, electrical connectors and radio products that meet all the requirements of the main state and international standards.
