See graphic below for the locations of the various iROSA arrays on the ISS. Truss 1B is being worked on today.
Each iROSA array produces more than 20 kW of electricity; the 6 arrays will eventually generate 120 kW of augmented power during orbital daytime. In addition, the remaining uncovered solar array pair (2A and 3B) and partially uncovered original arrays will continue to generate ~95 kW of power.

The two iROSA roll-out solar arrays will be installed by NASA astronauts Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg on June 9 and June 15. These will be the 5th and 6th iROSAs installed at the ISS, on the 1A and 1B power channels. See graphic below for the locations of the various iROSA arrays.
Mounting brackets and cables were installed on the trusses during 3 spacewalks in Jan, Feb and April this year.

Gaur #CRS28 zamaontzia Nazioarteko Espazio Estazioaruntz jaurti da. #iROSA eguzki panel berriak darama.
Maiatzaren 5ean Txinaren Espazio Estazioko #Tianhe moduluaren atzeko portutik bereizi zen #Tianzhou5 zamaontzia, gaur aurreko portuarekin bat egin du.
Atzo, Nazioarteko Espazio Estazioan dagoen #crew6 espaziontzia, egokitze-portuz aldatu behar izan zuen #CRS28 zamaontziari lekua uzteko. Honek #iROSA eguzki panel berriak eramango ditu eta aldaketa beharrezkoa da #Canadarm2 beso robotikoak honen maletategira iristeko.
Abenduaren 17an (Sol 649), #Ingenuity robot-helikopteroak 37garren hegaldia egin zuen (62 m.ko ibilbidea 10 m.tako altueran, 3 m/s-ko abiaduraz 55,2 segunduz).
Atzo Nazioarteko Espazio Estazioan, 4A panelaren gainean #iROSA eguzki-panel berriak jarri zituzten.
Uggggghhhh...space debris is the WORST.
I was really looking forward to watching another new #IROSA roll out on the #iss today, but a random chunk of upper stage #rocket said no.
(Per #NASA TV, #EVA 83 has been postponed for today due to a late conjunction warning. A debris avoidance maneuver is planned, and the crew is not in danger, but you can't go outside when space junk is flying about.)
