Solar parametric testing module and processes

This is a machine designed to automatically test solar cells during their manufacturing process. It uses a conveyor belt to move solar cell pieces, which float on cushions of air, into a testing area. There, tiny electrical probes touch the solar cell to apply voltage and measure its electrical performance.

Why it matters: Since 2009, solar cell manufacturing has scaled dramatically, increasing the need for automated, in-line quality control. Advances in automation and sensor technology make building such a precise, high-throughput testing system more practical and economical now.
