Metcal PS-900-SOLAR Solar Soldering Complete System, 100/240V

The need to reduce PV manufacturing costs, combined with the present shortage of polysilicon feedstock, are driving a steady reduction in wafer and cell thicknesses. The PS-900-Solar Soldering System is the perfect solution for the soldering of wires (tabs and stringers) without causing damage or cracks to the cells, which has become an increasingly challenging step. This system offers several key benefits:

Ability to Solder at Low, Controlled Temperatures: This feature reduces the stresses on the cells and the likelihood of micro-cracking, producing a controlled, high-quality solder joint.

Low Cost of Ownership and Ease of Use: The PS-900-Solar Soldering System is designed with a focus on cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness, making it an attractive option for PV manufacturers.

Calibration-Free Heater: The system's heater reacts instantly to changing thermal loads, thus minimizing thermally induced stresses on the surface of the solar cells. This calibration-free design ensures consistent performance and reduces the need for frequent maintenance or adjustments.

The reduction in wafer and cell thicknesses is a response to the industry's drive to lower PV manufacturing costs. This trend, combined with the present shortage of polysilicon feedstock, has created a need for innovative solutions that can address the challenges associated with the soldering process.

The PS-900-Solar Soldering System is designed to meet these challenges head-on. Its ability to solder at low, controlled temperatures is a key feature that helps to reduce the stresses on the cells and the likelihood of micro-cracking. This, in turn, results in the production of a controlled, high-quality solder joint, which is essential for the reliable operation of solar panels.

In addition to its technical capabilities, the system's low cost of ownership and ease of use make it a compelling choice for PV manufacturers. The calibration-free heater, which reacts instantly to changing thermal loads, further enhances the system's performance and reduces the need for frequent maintenance or adjustments.

By addressing the critical challenges faced by the PV industry, the PS-900-Solar Soldering System plays a crucial role in enabling the continued reduction of manufacturing costs and the widespread adoption of solar energy technology.
