Day 6 continued the installation of the solar array.
The unfurling of the solar panels themselves began a little behind schedule due to the problem encountered on Day 5 with SARJ.
This problem was determined to be in the software, and a workaround was developed.
The unfurling of the panels continued throughout the morning in stages to prevent the panels sticking, as they did during STS-97.
It was noted by the crew that some panels were still sticking together, but this didn't cause any problems.
Although the installation has been completed, the solar arrays will not provide power to the station until the next shuttle mission, STS-116, scheduled for December 2006, when the station will undergo a major electrical system rewiring.

Other activities of Day 6 included a "double walk off" of the station's Canadarm2 from its current location at the Mobile Base System to the Destiny Laboratory Module and the preparation for the mission's third spacewalk.
A number of interviews were also conducted later in the day, between Jett & MacLean and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper & students.
