Sensor measures solar panels through glass

摘要

High precision, confocal displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are being used to accurately measure the thickness of multi-layer photovoltaic (PV) solar modules. From one side, the sensors measure the thickness of intermediate layers through the anti-reflective glass, including the air gap between the two glass panes. French company Apollon Solar has developed a new process for the production of its PV modules, which are manufactured at French line constructor, Vincent Industrie.
