Industries


The Solar Industry

With the rapid growth of the solar industry, the need for inspection and process control of solar panels has become a major topic of discussion among panel manufacturers and production line suppliers.

Schenk's SolarInspect systems have been designed to fulfill each of the special requirements throughout the production of thin film solar panels. These turnkey vision systems were developed to provide reliable quality control for the entire running production process.

  • Incoming Bare Glass
  • Coated Glass, e.g. TCO, Molybden
  • Layer Deposition
  • Structuring/Laser Scribing
  • Chemical Steps
  • Edge Deletion
  • Back Glass
  • Finished Modules

In addition, constant monitoring of the production process allows timely corrective action to be taken when process deviations occur.

With the SolarMeasure series, Schenk has complemented the solar product range with precise and reliable measurement solutions that focus specifically on the physical characteristics of thin film solar panels. This innovative series is available as a stand-alone system or as an add-on option integrated into the SolarInspect systems.
