Komax GX6 String Layup
THE GX6 is the latest generation Komax Solar layup system. It was completely redesigned to improve ease of use, performance, and feasibility for downstream automation.
A single robot facilitates pick and place from stringer to glass, with tab trimming and bend options. The active vision system provides industry leading string placement accuracy.
String quality monitoring options include optical and electroluminescence (EL) inspection. Patent Pending Technology allows strings to be accurately placed on glass using a patent pending advanced vision system (AVS).
The system incorporates a single articulated robot for string pickup and placement to glass. Strings are picked to match the module layup polarity requirements, and accurately placed on glass front (blue) side down using a patent pending active vision system (AVS).
front-contact shading to its own high- efficiency HIT cell structure: Imperfections at or near the surface of the crystalline silicon wafers used in the cells can trap electrons decreasing current and voltage. By applying thin films of silicon to the front and back of the silicon wafer this effect is countered.
HIT Solar Cell
PANASONIC has achieved a conversion efficiency of 25.6% in its HIT solar cells a world record for crystalline silicon- based solar cells of a practical size. The achievement of this new record was made possible by further research into Panasonic’s heterojunction technology. Panasonic is the first company to push the efficiency level above the 25% benchmark for practical-size cells.
An optimized layout with conveniently located dual HMI(s), enable a single user to operate both string systems and the GX6 layup system. Full product changeover by one user is easily accomplished in less than 20 minutes. The GX6 layup system supports two Xcell solar cell interconnection machines. The conveyor system incorporates glass input and output buffers to minimize glass exchange times and improve performance.
The conveyor incorporates a patented slip torque technology to optimize product flow across both the input buffer and layup zones.
Reduction in recombination loss A key feature of HIT technology is its ability to reduce the recombination loss*7 of charge carriers particles of electricity generated by light through laminating layers of high-quality amorphous silicon on the surface of the monocrystalline silicon substrate where power is generated.
Reduction in optical loss In order to increase the current in a solar cell it is necessary to lead the sunlight which arrive at the cells surface to the monocrystalline silicon substrate which is the layer which generates the power with less loss. Minimizing resistance loss In solar cells the generated electrical current is accumulated in the surface grid electrodes and output externally. Panasonic applies improvements on
Solar Energeasy
SOLAR ENERGEASY is a global program launched by Rexel to raise awareness and understanding of solar PV and make the installation of solar panels hassle-free for both the consumer and the electrical installer via a user-friendly online platform adapted to smartphones and tablets.
For the first time consumers also have a guarantee on the generation potential of their installation and the assurance that if the difference in the real energy output of the PV installation is more than 10% below the original estimate within the first 5 years, Rexel will pay them back the
