Which solar manufacturing areas offer the greatest return opportunities for robotic automation? Which robot type is best for a given solar application task and how does vision fit in? This article should act as a primer targeting these issues, and discusses how the solar industry can best maximize factory throughput, drive down costs, and improve efficiencies with robotic automation. While the significance of robot automation in the manufacturing of solar cells is obvious, which robot types and kinematics fit each unique process may not be as obvious. Cartesian robots with flexibility in configuration allow custom robotic systems to be built in complex workspaces. Finding the most effective tools and processes to gain more productivity and decrease costs within a set capital plan is paramount.
No matter your thoughts on regulatory involvement, it is clear there will be a resurgence in investment, development, and innovation within the PV manufacturing community throughout the world, and it will largely be driven by technology. The United States has set 2015 as a goal to reach grid parity (that point where solar electricity is equal to grid electricity).
