Spire Corporation recently began an effort under the Department of Energy{close_quote}s Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology (PVMaT) project to develop automation for photovoltaic module assembly and testing processes after solar cell encapsulation. Module manufacturers were surveyed to identify current industry practices to help define the requirements for automated systems. Four main areas are being addressed: 1) module buffer storage between steps; 2) module edge trimming, sealing, and framing; 3) junction box installation; and 4) testing for module electrical performance, high voltage isolation, and ground continuity. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
