Laser Inspection Machine

Module Laser Inspection Machine

String Laser Inspection Machine

Cell Laser Inspection Machine

Conventional inspection method

NPC original laser inspection method

Detects cracks in the cells/strings/modules accurately by irradiating laser beam

Detects only the cracked areas by distinguishing low power generating area, impurity and cracks
Visualizes defective areas clearly through our own software
Raises product yield by preventing any misjudgments caused by human errors
Innovative technology adopted as SEMI PV60-0115 standard (Test Method for Measurement of Cracks in Photovoltaic (PV) Silicon Wafers in PV Modules by Laser Scanning Method)
No need to apply electric current onto cells/strings/modules
Raises quality reliability of final products
Applicable to cells, strings, and modules
Complies with EN60825-01, safety standard of laser light
