Baccini - Solar cell manufacturer

Tester and sorter line

After pioneering the application of screen printing to the making of solar cells in the early 80's , and after having been the first to implement full in line manufacturing, Baccini SpA is today leading the way with integrated Linear Motor driven Computer controlled lines were the electrodes on the two sides of the P.V. solar cells are generated, A.O.I. inspected, fired ,tested and the resulting cells sorted by performances.








As the leader in Hybrid Integrated Circuits screen printing and Laser micro-machining, Baccini SpA enjoyed the right back ground for the process of applying thick film conductive pastes to the surface of the cells. At the same time the Baccini SpA concept of compact machinery, highly productive, highly accurate and customer friendly , found a natural field of application.

Silicon made P.V. Solar cells are needed today in large volumes, with growing size and dropping thickness, made in an industrial environment were tight control on the manufacturing cost is key.

Baccini SpA success springs from meeting the challenges facing the customers by :

•  Getting the screen printing process out of the laboratories and making it reproducible, predictable and less operator dependant.

•  Integrating in a single line all the devices to run the complete process and to control the product quality.

•  Making user friendliness and product change flexibility the pillars of the SW.

•  Handling the delicate silicon devices in a smooth way lowering the breakage rate to unprecedented level. Both for single crystal and poly crystal silicon cells.

•  Reaching productivity level unknown in the industry to date.

 

It all resulted in modular equipment , with high degree of flexibility , fit for those companies taking advantage of the dramatic market growth this renewable energy field is enjoying.

All from a single competent partner.
