It ended up landing in a shadowed place,and can not recharge. Not something that could have been planned for.

Is the orientation of the Lander's location on the comet, relative to the sun, fixed? Seems unlikely to me.

It's bound to be rotating.

Wherever the comet got blown away from must have induced a spin to it.
It's going 84,000 m.p.h.

Apparently they were banking on 7 hours of sunlight per day but only getting 1.5  :(

I am surprised they can not come up with a small nuclear power generator.
