Case Study: AT&S achieves higher photovoltaic module efficiency with Hexagon's portable measuring arm

Portable measuring arm ensures the performance of photovoltaic modules

AT&S, a leading Austrian circuit board manufacturer, sought to ensure the quality of its innovative high-efficiency photovoltaic modules. The challenge was to precisely measure the position of contacts on a new type of conducting backsheet foil, as any misalignment would reduce the module's performance. To solve this, they utilized a portable measuring arm from Hexagon.

Hexagon's portable measuring arm provided a flexible and easy-to-operate solution for inspecting the foils. The highly reliable and accurate measurements allowed AT&S to verify the quality of every foil, creating transparency with its customers and securing their trust. This process ensured the superior performance of the modules, which feature a factor of 10 less efficiency loss compared to conventional technology.
