Why does the NanoSail-D need solar wind if it is in orbit?

Can you explain what the thrust from the solar wind will do for the solar sail in orbit? Thank you!
Note to UL: Thank you for your comment. I use the "Answers" site for unusual questions that I find myself thinking about and also for when I want to hear how another person might explain a particular astronomical phenomena. I deleted the question about the ISS because I got some rude answers and I was a bit put off by them.
