During the day, the sun hits the solar panels, which charge the batteries and power the propellers, and the plane climbs to 75,000 feet. When the sun goes down, the batteries completely take over. The propellers do slow down and the plane does lose altitude. The trick, though, is to make sure youre still above 60,000 feet by the time the sun comes up the next morning and the process can start again. So, will the entire wing be covered with solar cells, every single square centimetre, as much as you can in solar .
