How to Print 2000 Miles of Solar Cells a Year

The network of contact lines on crystalline silicon solar cells are made using a specialized, high-precision screen printing process. The printing process is followed by electrical inspection, optical testing and sorting of the finished cells, all in the same integrated manufacturing line.

This beautiful video follows solar wafers as they pass through an Applied Baccini Pegaso system. The wafers are transformed into finished solar cells, ready to be packaged into panels and installed on roofs, parking lots and solar farms around the world.
