TaiyangNews Market Survey on Module Production Equipment presents the evolution of assembly-line equipment and current technology trends in upstream and downstream modules, pushing these machines to adapt.
There has been tremendous progress in production equipment in order to keep pace with ever-changing cell technologies and module configurations, aimed at increasing efficiency, output power, and improving current and voltage combinations. These improvements were not limited to throughput, uptime, and production yield, but they have also addressed key challenges arising from the changes in technologies. For example, back contact or 0BB architectures at the cell level have added complexities in processing at the module level. Multi-cut cells (1/3 or 1/4), which enhance the current output of the panel, also impact the process flow to some extent. However, today's equipment is sufficiently capable to adjust to these changes. There is still room for improvements or optimizations on the equipment side, but the flexibility or adaptability module production equipment offer can also reflect in the future to accommodate upcoming technological developments, such as perovskite tandem, integrated PV applications, and low-temperature processes, to name a few.
In this survey, a total of 9 companies participated, providing information on their CTS, Auto-Layup, Auto-Bussing, Laminator, and Sun Simulators.
Target group: Whether you are a module maker, equipment maker, or an investor in these areas of manufacturing, this report provides insights into the technology trends in key module production equipment and their adaptability to upcoming technology advancements.
