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.”
