Solar photovoltaic module production line FAQs

Why should you learn photovoltaic module production process?

By understanding the photovoltaic module production process and to learn which machines are involved in the production of a module, gives you the knowledge to understand the points that are delicate and fundamental for the production helping you in the choice of a reliable and high-quality product.

How a photovoltaic cell can be integrated into a production line?

Some of this equipment can be integrated into the production line according to the wished level of automation. The photovoltaic cells are placed in a piece of equipment, called solar stringer, that interconnects the cells in a series by soldering a coated copper wire, called ribbon, on the bus bar of the cell.

How to install a photovoltaic module?

The process is done by attaching the box with a suitable silicone or glue on the back sheet of the module and by making the electrical connection between the bus ribbon prepared before the lamination and the cables of the junction box. At the inside of the box, you can find by-pass diodes that protect the photovoltaic module when operating.

How a photovoltaic module is assembled?

The assembly of photovoltaic modules consists of a series of consecutive operations that can be performed by automatic machines dedicated to optimizing the single production phases that transform the various raw material in a finished product.

What is a 100MW solar module line?

A 100MW solar module line is an automatic production line made up of quality individual equipment, like glass loading equipment, stringer machine, layup machine and laminators, to reduce manual cost to the maximum. The production line is also equipped with a MES system for production data monitoring to benefit the stable and reliable production.

What is a PV module lay-up?

The machine that performs this operation in the PV module production line, called lay-up, can at the same time perform quality controls of the product in order to verify that the cells are intact finding possible breakages and to verify the accuracy of the soldering quality.
