Renewable energy is becoming more appealing as a substitute for fossil fuels. Companies in the photovoltaics market must prepare for expanding demand, increased quality awareness, and higher cost pressures as a result of increased competition. Digital camera systems aid in the automation of production processes and quality standards, resulting in increased efficiency.
Basler cameras are ideal for applications in the photovoltaics industry. Among their characteristics are:
- Low noise levels and high image quality
- Strong sensitivity, particularly in the NIR range
- A remarkable price-to-performance ratio
Inspection of wafers
Control of the wafer material and/or surface quality, particularly regarding (micro) cracks, humps, unevenness, or general coating failures, are areas where cameras are used in wafer inspection.
