Developed by ACI-ecotec, ecoContact requires less than 30 seconds to manufacture a thin-film photovoltaic (PV) module, completely automatically. As well as offering outstanding speed and high contact quality, the system is highly flexible and extremely economical with materials. This state-of-the-art solution can be used to apply small pieces of adhesive tape for attaching bus bars – helping save up to 100,000 euros a year in adhesive materials alone, compared to other systems. Because of the large capital expenditure involved, production systems for thin-film photovoltaic modules must operate as efficiently as possible. And that is where ecoContact comes in. The ACI components can be combined in a flexible way to manufacture all common thin-film module sizes. The substrates are transported and precisely positioned using a multi-lane conveyor belt. The patented ecoContact system is already being used in more than ten production facilities for thin-film PV modules worldwide. The redundant solution, which has programmable axes, allows production to continue while maintenance work is being performed on one of the dispensing heads or application components.
