I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION & SCOPE OF OFFER

As described herein, Procon Group Photovoltaic produce machinery NewSun offers to coordinate the supply and installation of a photovoltaic module assembly line in a facility of your choice. NewSun is well positioned to provide the line and on-going production support, including a supply of silicon solar cells (from sources for which we have supplied the technology and have marketing exclusivity) and other materials for production.

 

The module assembly lines described in this proposal are the M 2000 and M 1000 lines. 

 

The M 2000 line enables a production capacity of at least 10 MW per annum on a three-shift basis, using 125 mm x 125 mm solar cells.  (One working shift is equivalent to 2000 hours per annum.)

 

The M 1000 line offers a production capacity of over 5 MW per annum with the same size cells.

 

Included in the supply of either production line, Procon Group Solar Energy Machinery NewSun will:

 

§      square06_red.gif  Provide all necessary state of the art equipment and technology for manufacturing and testing photovoltaic modules. 

The line will test incoming cells, process them into modules, and test the final modules.  The line is designed to be easily operated by an unskilled labor force following training by NewSun.  Equipment supplied includes that necessary for handling incoming materials.

 

§      square06_red.gif Provide training for the work force in both Canada and Customer’s Country. 

The training includes training in equipment operation, maintenance, production procedures, and materials preparation and flow.  Detailed documentation will be provided to guide the on-going factory operations.

 

§      square06_red.gif Supervise installation and commissioning of the production line in Customer’s Factory 

This will include supervision of the first full-scale production of a minimum of 100 modules once the line is commissioned. 

 

§      square06_red.gif Provide the necessary solar cells and other materials to make PV modules.

Materials will be provided for training purposes as well as for initial product manufacture to an agreed level.  All materials will be made available for the initial production run in Taiwan.

 

§      square06_red.gif Provide an on-going source of solar cells and other materials at competitive prices.

 

§      square06_red.gif Assist in product marketing and systems design.

NewSun also offers to assist in design and sourcing of the utilities to be included in the production facility, including any back-up power source.

 

II.   PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE ASSEMBLY LINE 

For photovoltaic module manufacture, we provide the necessary equipment and technology to assemble multi-crystalline or mono-crystalline silicon solar cells into state-of-the-art photovoltaic modules. Key equipment items provided in the line are designed and made by NewSun, designed by NewSun and fabricated under contract, or are purchased as standard items from reliable equipment manufacturers. In all cases, NewSun adds all the necessary technology to the equipment. Once production starts, we offer to continue to source and supply suitable solar cells and other materials to you to be used in the production of modules, until such time as you may implement solar cell production as the next stage of development.  Procon Group Hight Technology Development Devision NewSun can also provide a complete solar cell manufacturing line.

 

III. PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE DESCRIPTION

 

circle06_skyblue.gif Typically in standard module production lines, 36 solar cells are connected in series (redundant interconnects for reliability) to be able to charge a 12 Volt battery.  When the cells are interconnected and encapsulated against the environment, they form a rugged building block called a solar photovoltaic module that may used in various combinations for providing electricity. A superstrate of high tempered low iron solar glass is normally used (an alternative is Tefzeltm)to protect the cells from the environment and from impact damage.  The cells are laminated between layers of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and backed by a layer of impact and moisture resistant Tedlartm/polyester/Tedlartm or Tedlartm/polyester/EVA laminated film.  Glass may also be used as the backing material. 

 

circle06_skyblue.gif The special laminating process assures a strong bond between the superstrate, cells and backing substrate. The laminated module is edge sealed and framed by a lightweight custom aluminum extrusion, which interlocks at all four corners to give outstanding mechanical strength, allowing for rough handling and ease of installation.  To complete the weatherproof module, junction boxes designed for easy wiring access, are securely attached to the backs of the modules.

 

circle06_skyblue.gif Module power ratings depend on the solar cells used.   Cells of 100 mm x 100 mm size, which have efficiencies in the 13 to 15% range, will yield modules rated between 45 and 53 Watts.  Mono-crystalline silicon cells of 125 mm x 125 mm pseudo-square size have typical power ratings (Standard Test Conditions) of 1.9 to 2.2 Watts, yielding 70-78 Watt modules when encapsulated. Multi-crystalline silicon cells 125 mm x 125 mm size, made by technology supplied by NewSun have an average rating of 2.1 Watts, to give 75 Watt modules.  Modules with 150 mm x 150 mm cells will have typical ratings in the 110-120 Wp range.

 

circle06_skyblue.gif All cells may be cut into smaller segments to yield low power modules.

 

IV. STANDARD PV MODULE ASSEMBLY LINES OFFERED BY PROCON 

    Model M1000 is a semi-automatic line designed to produce over 5 MWp of modules per annum on a a three shift basis using 125 mm x 125 mm cells.

     

      Model M2000 is a semi-automatic line designed to produce approximately 10 MWp of modules per annum on a three shift basis using 125 mm x 125 mm cells.

 

All lines are supplied with tooling for two sizes of cells (typicallly 125 mm and 150 mm size).  Extra tooling can be supplied to use a third size (typically 103 mm cells). 

 

All lines can be tailored to meet our customer's requirements.

 

V. STANDARD HIGH CAPACITY PV MODULE ASSEMBLY LINES OFFERED BY PROCON GROUP NEWSUN

Model M8000 is designed to have a throughput of over 8.5 MWp per shift year with 125 mm x

125 mm cells and up to 14 MWp per shift year with 150 mm x 150 mm cells

 

VI. DESCRIPTION OF A TYPICAL MODULE PRODUCTION LINE PROCESS

circle06_skyblue.gif Solar cells are the incoming material to this line. A solar cell tester is provided to allow testing and sorting of the cells into matched categories. Alternatively cells can be provided pre-sorted into categories.  The cell tester quoted with the line is a manually loaded one for the M 1000 line and with auto sorting for the M 2000 line.  The tester is intended to check incoming cells on a sampling basis.

circle06_skyblue.gif Tested and sorted silicon solar cells are tabbed and interconnected in strings.  We provide automated tabbing and stringing/arraying equipment (ST 500 and MA 500S) to first tab the cells, and then connect them into strings or arrays. A string inspection and test station is supplied to ensure strings operate properly. Three ST 500 units are supplied in the M2000 line, each capable of tabbing 300 cells per hour. The ST 500 takes a coinstack of cells placed on the loader, and moves them automatically through alignment, pre-heat and tabbing stations. Solder coated interconnect material is automatically cut to length, fluxed, placed on the cells and solder reflowed (pulsed light raise the cell above the solder reflow temperature). 

circle06_skyblue.gif The tabbed cells are placed at the output in coinstacks which are then inverted and transferred to two loaders on the input of a separate semi-automatic stringer (Model MA-500S).  An option is to include a flip-over mechanism at the output of the ST-500. Strings are prepared alternating from the two coinstacks so that after solder reflow (heated platen and light based) the stings are already oriented for interconnection in a module.  Strings are placed by a vacuum pick-up on a string inspection and test station is supplied to ensure they operate properly, then once tested placed by the vacuum pick-up on arraying jigs in the arraying station which is integrated with the test station.

circle06_skyblue.gif At the arraying station, arraying jigs are used to position bus bars to contact the ends of the strings.  Individual strings are picked up and transported using a String Vacuum Transfer Unit (VT-100S or VT-125S or VT150S).  Interconnected arrays are picked up and transported using a multi-string Vacuum Transfer Unit (VT-36100 or VT-36125 or VT-36150)

circle06_skyblue.gif A module sandwich (layers of low iron tempered glass, EVA, solar cell array, EVA and backing material) is laid up on a specially designed lay-up table. 

circle06_skyblue.gif The sandwich is then laminated at an elevated temperature, under pressure and vacuum using a double vacuum laminator. In the lines as quoted, the laminator is equipped with auto loading and unloading to laminate multiple modules at a time.  Throughput with fast cure EVA is a minimum of 4 lamination cycles per hour when curing is done in the laminator.  (5-6 lamination cycles per hour are possible depending on the mode used)

circle06_skyblue.gif Either two PL 410 laminators or one PL 500 laminator with auto load and unload model is used in the M2000 line.

 

circle06_skyblue.gif Each module is moved in turn to a framing station where it is positioned centrally to allow the frames to be inserted by pneumatics firmly onto the edges of the module.  (The frames will previously have a pre-measured amount of silicone dispensed into the slot designed to hold the laminate – a semi-automatic dispense unit will be provided for this purpose). The framing station includes equipment for securing the four corners of the frame. 

circle06_skyblue.gif The module is then moved to a termination station where the junction boxes are secured to the back of the modules using manual dispensing of epoxy or silicone.  Leads from the module are secured to terminals in the junction box, then the modules are transferred to a curing rack until dry enough to be tested. 

 circle06_skyblue.gif Upon removal of the laminate and after complete cooling, the excess EVA is trimmed, and the module tested in the simulator/tester (XE 1190 Series)

 circle06_skyblue.gif A high voltage tester (to 3000 volts) is provided to guarantee voltage isolation between the cell circuit and the module frame.

 With suitable jigs and materials sizes, all our lines can handle 100, 125 and 150mm diameter mono-crystalline silicon cells; and 100-103 mm x 100-103 mm, 125 mm x 125 mm, or 150 mm x 150mm square or pseudo-square multi-crystalline or mono-crystalline silicon solar cells.
