How are photovoltaic cells processed at a layup station?

At the Layup station, blocks of photovoltaic cells are placed on a glass substrate that is moving along the main conveyor. Since the time glass spends at this station depends on whether the photovoltaic cells were prepared on time and on the speed of the robot moving them, we cannot specify the processing time at the station in advance.

How are photovoltaic cells assembled?

Photovoltaic cells must be prepared for assembly. The process consists of: testing on the sun simulator (Cell sun simulation and test processing station); soldering cells together (String soldering station).

How to declare a photovoltaic cell ready?

The humidity should not go beyond 65% per day and temperature should not exceed 25±5. Before you declare your photovoltaic cell ready, you need to carry out a mirror surface inspection. This step will help give you an assurance that the mirror of the solar panel is in a perfect condition.

How are photovoltaic absorbers made?

The manufacturing typically starts with float glass coated with a transparent conductive layer, onto which the photovoltaic absorber material is deposited in a process called close-spaced sublimation. Laser scribing is used to pattern cell strips and to form an interconnect pathway between adjacent cells.

How a batch is gathered in a stack of panels?

When 10 units are gathered in a stack of panels, they are combined into a batch (blocks batch, batch1, or batch2 ), ready to be sent using the forklift to the warehouse in the moveToStorage block (type MoveByTransporter ).

How do photovoltaic cells work in a flippingstation?

After processing at the flippingStation station, the agents are removed from the conveyor, and converted into a connected group of photovoltaic cells (the SolarCellRow agent type) using the assembleString block ( Batch type). This group will move further along the flowchart.
