Inline measurement equipment specialist Aurora Solar Technologies (AST) has secured a new order from the world’s largest solar cell producer, expanding the use of its Decima 3T and Veritas servers for high-efficiency solar cell production. Recently, AST secured a major order from LG Electronics and launched the first system that measures bifacial solar cells.

“We are excited to have been awarded this significant level of business from the number one producer of solar cells in the world in 2016,” said Michael Heaven, Aurora’s Chief Executive Officer. “This order together with the previously-announced order from LG Electronics clearly demonstrates that Aurora’s products are essential for manufacturers focused on producing the highest quality and efficiency cells possible.”

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 7-8 October 2025 is our third PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The events in 2023 and 2024 were a sell out success and 2025 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
