Know The Manufacturing Steps of Solar Panels

 Solar panel is a manmade device, which absorbs light/energy from the sun and changes this energy/light into electricity. With technological advancements and improvement in its manufacturing process, the efficiency of a solar panel is far better than one a few years ago. Due to low cost and high efficiency in usable electricity production, people across the world have started using it. After one time cost in its purchase and installation, you can generate electricity at free of cost for 25-30 years.

Many of you would have queries – how a solar panel is made, what materials are used in its production, how different parts are placed together to make it, etc. The first thing to keep in mind that a solar panel manufacturer has many solar panel making machines installed at the production floor and the employees working there have to follow a certain procedure. Here are all the manufacturing steps in brief:

 

·         Cell Cutting – With the use of laser cutting machine, skilled workers cut cells. Cell sizes depends on your expected watts.  

·         Stringing Process – It is a fully automated process. Engineers use solar module line automation here.

·         Solar Glass Making

·         Visual Inspection – Technicians examine to find out errors or faults if there are.

·         Tapping – Experts tape the cells.

·         Connection – Technicians connect each cell by soldering.

·         Insulate Module Connection – The technicians insulate the connections with the use of EVA encapsulation and back sheet.  

·         Mirror observation – The quality experts check the module for colour mismatch, any dust particles, etc.

·         EI Testing – With the use of an EI Machine, the technicians do the EI testing of a solar panel module. This testing helps to find out low power/dead cell, cracks, and short circuit cells.   

·         Lamination – The experts laminate the module at 140-degree Celsius.

·         Trimming of the back sheet – The technicians remove the excess materials from the back side by trimming.

·         Frame Cutting – To border the solar panels, the experienced technicians cut frames in different sizes.

·         Frame Punching – The technicians punch the frame holes for grounding or moulding purposes.

·         Sealant Filling – The experts fill sealants in the frames to protect them from dust, air, or moisture.

·         Fixing Junction Box – There is an attachment of junction boxes to modules with the use of sealants.

·         Module Cleaning – Workers wipe the outside of each module to remove dust, extra sealant, or foreign particles.

·         Module Testing – The experts carry out a final inspection.

·         Packing – Workers pack solar panel modules in corrugated boxes with foam and allied materials.
