In 2008, Solaria received IEC certification for the world’s first module manufacturing technology to incorporate semiconductor singulation processes and optical packaging technologies into crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar modules. Known as Cell Multiplication Technology (CMT), the technology significantly reduces the capital and operational costs of module manufacturing while also introducing unprecedented flexibility for optimizing c-Si module designs for specific market applications.

To meet the exacting demands of the Photovoltaic solar industry, Scapa has developed a number of technical, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes for module assembly. The focus of the Scapa technology offered, centres on high quality cellular foams, coated on both sides with pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive and is used for module frame mounting.
This technology provides effective and permanent bonding of the photovoltaic module and the framing material whilst forming a durable seal which prevents water and moisture ingress.

Tigo Energy has developed a power electronics system for PV solar projects which distributes key elements of instrumentation, control and maximum power point tracking to the module.  The system provides optimal power harvest from each module while not introducing additional conversion loss or significant cost increases relative to today’s centralized BOS electronics.  By placing a small amount of electronics on each panel, Tigo Energy eliminates the system impact of underperforming modules (made weaker by high temperature; dust & debris; aging; clouds; or shade) and thus harvests up to 20% additional energy.  This significantly reduces levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and project payback period.

The small compact foot print, immense product flexibility and a highly advanced induction close loop soldering process, make the Komax Xcell 3400 Stringer a key machine in helping the Crystalline Solar Industry reach grid parity.

Alpha® PV Ready Ribbon™ is a flux coated, solder ribbon used to link together solar cells in Photovoltaic Module Assembly. It’s unique feature is the patented chemistry and technology used to flux coat the ribbon, thereby eliminating the need to apply flux separately during the tabbing and stringing process.

The system supplier for photovoltaic module lines, Reis Robotics, has implemented a newly developed laser soldering procedure for practical use with several customers.

In the stinger machines TT900/1200 we offer the most flexible soldering technology for solar cells: Laser soldering. It is flexible and controlled in terms of: temperature/power/position of energy/implementation and speed of energy.

This process is a method and mechanical attachment of standard  solder coated ribbon to silver bars during PV module assembly.

SolarMagic^TM power optimizers are a new technology that dramatically improves the performance of photovoltaic (PV) arrays in real-world conditions, where panel mismatch and partial shading as a result of debris or structural objects can cripple a system's power generation. In some conditions, field trials have shown that SolarMagic technology can improve array performance by nearly 40 percent. SolarMagic Optimizers are manufactured by California-based National Semiconductor.
