Photovoltaic

European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference at Feria Valencia in Valencia / Spain

Power generation with photovoltaics (PV) involves an extensive value-added chain. First the silicon is mined and manufactured into silicon wafers. Then further processing occurs to manufacture wafers and the modules themselves. Finally, these modules are integrated into high-performance PV systems. Equipment from Komax Systems is used in the assembly of solar cells, solar modules and thin-film solar modules.

At its centres of excellence in York, USA, and Rotkreuz, Switzerland, Komax Systems has successfully produced machines for the PV industry for many years. For the tabbing and stringing processes as well as for glass lay-up applications, Komax Systems offers high-performance standard machines with extraordinarily high cycle speed. Customer-specific solutions have been created realized in the areas of screen-printing and bussing. It is important to achieve a minimal breakage rate when handling the ultra-thin and expensive cells.

Komax supplies well-engineered solutions for the production of modules in the crystalline sector (Stringer XCell 3400) or in the thin-film/backend field (bussing system). Komax has extended its product range over recent years. Not least, Komax provides outstanding service and expertise to its customers and is represented in more 50 countries.
