Well Jeb died (since they always default equp him) so I restarted the game and went for the solar panels from the beginning this time.Don't bother with transmitting unless the ship isn't ever going home. My mission was a manned return trip. I haven't bothered with transmitting data for a while now, even though I unlocked panels.
I just have to Transmitting is useful shortly before you land in case it doesn't go as well as you thought. Crew reports are also always 100% so it doesn't really matter that much.
