The Process

1

The glass is loaded onto the module line and goes through a glass washing system with DI water.

  The Process

2

After visual inspection, the first layer of EVA is cut to size and placed onto the glass.

  The Process

3

Komax stringers string together a series of 10 cells, and a robot places 6 strings of 10 cells onto the glass.

  The Process

4

Three robots cut the bussing and solder the strings of cells into a continuous 60-cell module.

  The Process

5

A second layer of EVA and a backsheet is placed onto the stringed series of cells.

  The Process

6

Four modules are loaded into the laminator.

  The Process

7

The excess lamination material is manually trimmed. The frame is applied to the laminate, and each corner of the panel is crimped to ensure mechanical integrity. The junction box is then secured to the backside of the module.

  The Process

8

Hi-pot and flash testing are used to inspect the modules for safety and overall performance (Isc, Voc, Imp, Vmp, and Pmax).
