Ideal Energy offers an R&D PECVD and HJT trial work at its Lingang process laboratory, which runs an HJT experimental line. The company says the R&D chamber matches its production chamber, so a recipe can move straight to volume. Agree the trial protocol first and plan a scale-up check on your production tool.

Ideal Energy's PV wet-process line handles 182R–210R wafers with a customisable number, layout and function of tanks. Acid and alkaline regions are hard-separated, robots move wafers between them, circulation runs on a variable-frequency drive and alkaline exhaust ducts have hot-water cleaning. Quote it with your chemistry, wafer drawing and surface target.

Ideal Energy's PV sputtering tools use large-span, large-diameter target tubes with a stated use period of more than 30 days, and magnetic rods giving over 1300 gauss at the target surface. Zoned atmosphere control, cold traps and a closed carrier return manage gas and moisture. Send your target materials and film targets to get a configuration.

Ideal Energy's PV PECVD tools deposit cell layers in large multilayer plasma chambers with a dual-vacuum design and rapid transfer under vacuum. RF can be 13.56 MHz or 40.68 MHz, and the plasma is described as stabilising quickly. Quote it with your layer stack, wafer format and film targets, and ask for the full chamber specification.

HORAD designs custom PV module lines, semi-automatic or fully automatic, including factory layout, equipment placement and line planning. The stations come from HORAD's own catalogue: glass and film handling, string layup, lamination, framing, junction box, labeling, test interfaces and packing. No fixed line capacity is published; each line is sized to your module and plant.

HORAD offers a complete perovskite PV line, from glass loading and cleaning through sputtering, coating, vacuum deposition and annealing to lamination, framing, junction box, testing and packing. HORAD quotes line capacity from 200 MW to 1 GW and module sizes 400–600 mm wide and 1200–2550 mm long, for flexible, glass and BIPV products.

HORAD's packing line turns finished PV modules into strapped, protected and wrapped shipment units. Its stations include loading with barcode scanning, flipping, long-edge, short-edge or flat strapping, wooden-pallet loading, metal-pallet unloading, corner and edge protectors, film covering and wrapping, pallet stacking and a manual boxing station. Each line is put together from this list.

HORAD's multilayer laminator stacks several lamination layers in one frame, and HORAD says each layer runs without affecting the others. It claims 30–40% less floor space than laminators of equal capacity. The listed build is 29000 mm long, draws 1200 kW and weighs 300 T. It takes panels of 1640–2550 by 990–1450 mm.

HORAD's three-chamber laminator bonds the module stack into finished panels, moving each load through three chambers in turn. You choose one, two or three stacked layers, no taller than 4.5 m, and electric, oil or electromagnetic heating. The listed build draws 800 kW, runs 62000 mm long and weighs 240 T, for modules 1640–2550 mm long and 990–1450 mm wide.

HORAD's sorting system takes finished modules, reads the grade already assigned to each one and sets it down in the matching position: flat, standing on its long side or standing on its short side. Servo axes do the positioning. The frame measures 12800 × 4950 × 4100 mm, weighs 8.5 T and draws 16 kW. Send your grade codes and pallet drawings to get a quote.

HORAD's corner station feeds protectors from a silo at each corner and fits all four at once in a 12-second cycle, with a wrapping yield HORAD puts at 99.9% or better. It handles kraft, white and corrugated paper protectors on modules 1650–2520 mm long. Send protector and frame drawings so fit, coverage and hold can be trialled on your packing line.

HORAD's verification station reads three identities on each module: the front barcode, the frame code and the nameplate. Scanners read the codes and a camera looks for a missing nameplate, print defects and labels set off position. It is light at 0.5 kW and 0.3 T. Bring code formats, matching rules and defect samples so the reject criteria are fixed before shipment.
