The laser edge deletion process becomes more and more the state of art process in the photovoltaic industry. The benefits are obvious. The contact free process does not need any wear parts. Furthermore the process is clean and the glass remains undamaged.
On top of that Laser cut glass substrates give plenty of benefits for the production process of thin film photovoltaic modules. Cooling times after coating can be cut down and breakages rate are lower. Furthermore improvements in the module properties can be achieved.

JENOPTIK Automatisierungstechnik in cooperation with Bystronic glass presents a whole solution making the benefits usable for production as well as for the photovoltaic module.
