Confirmware's Automatic String Repair Machine Reduces Cell Breakages By Upto 0.5%

In the fast-paced world of solar module manufacturing, the efficiency and reliability of the production process plays a vital role in delivering high-quality solar modules. One of the critical challenges faced by manufacturers is the breakage of cells in lines, which can significantly impact the yield and overall performance of the solar modules.

Eliminating challenges of manual repairs

Stringers produce about 1-2% string rejects which have either dry-soldering or broken cells. These strings are required to be repaired manually and put back into the manufacturing process. Unfortunately, with increasing Busbars on cells and thinning ribbons, the repair rate by manual experts is getting worse. The introduction of Confirmware’s String repair machine helps with saving these rejects strings while reducing the cell breakages by upto 0.5%.

Manual repair processes often rely on the human eye to identify damaged cells. Human error and fatigue can sometimes lead to missed or improper repairs, compromising module quality and effectiveness. With Confirmware’s Automatic String Repair Machine, manufacturers can rely on its precise and consistent performance, eliminating the variability associated with manual repairs. This not only enhances yield but also ensures greater stability in the manufacturing process, reducing the risk of field failures of their modules.

The Automatic String Repair Machine plays an important role in enhancing the reliability and longevity of these modules. By ensuring that damaged cells are accurately repaired, the machine minimizes the presence of defective modules that might generate less power or fail prematurely. This improvement ultimately boosts customer satisfaction and confidence in the durability of solar modules.

In addition to reducing cell breakage, the automatic repair process also enhances the structural integrity of the repaired cells. It eliminates human inconsistencies in applying flux and connecting busbars, resulting in more robust and reliable repairs. By leveraging automation and precision, Confirmware’s Automatic String Repair Machine provides a level of quality control that surpasses manual repair rates. All these factors not only reduce cell breakage but also improve yield, stability, and the overall reliability of the solar modules manufactured. As manufacturers embrace this innovative solution, they can expect increased operational efficiency, lowered costs, improved customer satisfaction, and a positive impact on the global adoption of solar energy.

In a recent development, Confirmware signed a contract with JSW, one of India’s largest conglomerates. This collaboration involves the installation of a massive 1.3 GW turnkey module line.
