AVA Solar has developed a thin-film photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing technology that is the culmination of more than 15 years of scientific and engineering effort. During all aspects of this development, large-scale manufacturing was emphasized. High-volume, highly automated manufacturing processes were benchmarked in developing AVA Solar’s production lines. The result is a fully automated, dry, in-line, continuous, single-pass system with very high throughputs and yields.
