EU PVSEC: Vitronic to parade its Vinspec Solar inspection system

Having launched the Vinspec Solar inspection system at the beginning of the year, Vitronic is using EU PVSEC this week to reiterate the need to make manual checking a thing of the past.

As with many inspection systems, getting a good look at the software and its interface can not be underestimated. Vitronic’s inspection system has a modular structure and uses a separate module for each step in the inspection process. The company said that if a new busbar shape changes the cell layout, only a single software module needs to be replaced, while the rest of the software remains unchanged.

This goes further in regards to whether a PV manufacturer wanted to integrate a new inspection criteria, such as contour inspection, again there would be no requirement to replace the entire software, rather just the installation of a new module. This is claimed to ensure the greatest possible flexibility and low costs in new inspection requirements.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.

  • Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2013 Production Annual

    In the ever-changing global solar markets, cost reduction and measures to increase cell efficiencies are the key tools available to PV manufacturers to create new opportunities and drive your business to the next level. Manufacturing the Solar Future 2013 is the third in the Photovoltaics International PV Production Annual series, delivering the next instalment of in-depth technical manufacturing information on PV production processes designed to help you gain the competitive edge.
