Since the truss radiators were installed...and tracking , the Zarya panels 
have been retracted somewhat  , producing , I assume less energy.

There is very little clearance , if any , between the radiators and the 
fully extended panels , so that suggests either it was always intended to 
make them redundant once the main truss  arrays were deployed ...or the 
proximity of Zarya's solar wings was never taken into account.

Anyone know the answer?

Thanks

John
