| Summary |
This report summarizes the progress made by Spire Corporation under NREL's PV Manufacturing R & D Project Subcontract No. ZDO-3-30628-12, to develop new automated systems for fabricating very large photovoltaic (PV) modules. Spire addressed the project goals of improving PV manufacturing processes and products while reducing costs and providing a technology foundation that supports significant manufacturing scale-up. To accomplish this, Spire focused efforts on the design of a large-area utility-scale module and the development of the necessary manufacturing techniques and equipment to manufacture such a module in a high-volume production environment. |
