Reinventing solar cell inspection

 

 

 

Lumi-Q photoluminescence inspection system from Isra Vision

For solar cell manufacturers, quality inspection is key. One defective cell can compromise an entire module, leading to unnecessary waste and added cost. This is essential as the solar business is a very price sensitive market. This is where the Lumi-Q photoluminescence inspection system comes in. Equipped with patented and safe LED lighting, it measures the efficiency of the cells without touching them, detecting any electrical or geometric defects.
