3S delivers its first semi-automatic production line to Eurener Energia Solar

Eights months after 3S Swiss Solar Systems first entered into business with semi-automatic production lines, it has delivered its first line to the Alicante-based Eurener Energia Solar, which had previously been operating with the manual 3S production line since 2006. Eurener has installed a semi-automatic 20MW line, which includes an automatic string soldering station from Somont, a laminating line from 3S and a module tester from Pasan.

"The new line is completely tailored to the specific needs of our customer", said CEO Patrick Hofer-Noser. "We plan and build our production lines in such a way that the module producers obtain the optimal degree of automation for their needs."

3S Swiss Solar Systems has had its semi-automatic production line in operation since March 2008 at its technical centre in Lyss, Switzerland, which serves as a test facility for customers and as a training line.

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
