Spi-EL™ Electroluminescence Solar Module Testers High Resolution Inspection for Solar Modules he Spi-EL series of solar module testers uses electroluminescence (EL) measurements to identify microcracks and other invisible defects in modules. The testers utilize cooled near-infrared CCD camera technology to image each solar cell with resolutions as fine as 170µm per pixel, which is equivalent to a 60 megapixel image for an entire module. Spire’s EL systems are available in either stand-alone or in-line configurations and can be easily integrated into any environment from R&D to high volume production. Modules are easily loaded/unloaded using standard conveyors. With image capture times as fast as 10 seconds and total test times of less than 30 seconds (including loading/unloading), 100% inline EL inspection can satisfy the module line speed required by today’s high volume production. Systems incorporate a user-friendly computer interface for easy operation and offer the option of automatic electrical connection to the module.
