🔆 Industry · Solar Panel Assembly
Your assembly line is running.
But which batch is pending EL test and holding up dispatch?
From solar cell receipt to panel dispatch — live visibility across every assembly stage. Track cell sorting, stringing, lamination, EL testing, and framing with full batch traceability.
Solar panel assembly plants — batch and test visibility live
As featured in PrintWeek India, April 2026
Your Production Flow
Every batch. Every test. Every panel tracked.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Incoming & Preparation
4 stages
Solar Cell Receipt
Solar cells received — wattage, efficiency class, and lot number logged.
✓ Clicarity: Cell lot number recorded — full batch traceability from cell to panel
Cell Testing / Sorting
Cells tested on flash tester and sorted by efficiency class.
✓ Clicarity: Efficiency distribution logged — cell binning visible per lot
Cell Inspection
Visual inspection for cracks, chips, and cosmetic defects.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: high defect rate in incoming lot — production hold while supplier resolved
BOM Planning
EVA, backsheet, glass, frame, junction box, and sealant planned per batch.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: EVA or backsheet stock-out — assembly line stopped
02
String & Matrix Assembly
3 stages
Tabbing & Stringing
Cells tabbed and strung into series strings using stringer machine.
✓ Clicarity: String count per batch tracked — yield from cells to strings visible
Matrix Lay-Up
Strings laid up in glass-EVA-string-EVA-backsheet configuration.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: lay-up error — EVA crease or string misalignment causes lamination reject
Pre-Lamination Inspection
Matrix inspected before entering laminator.
✓ Clicarity: Pre-lam inspection logged — defective matrices removed before lamination
03
Lamination & Testing
4 stages
Lamination
Matrix laminated in vacuum laminator at controlled temperature and time.
✓ Clicarity: Lamination cycle parameters logged — deviation flagged immediately
Trimming
Laminated panel edges trimmed.
EL Testing
Electroluminescence test conducted — cracks and cell defects visible.
✓ Clicarity: EL result logged per panel — defect type and location recorded
Flash Test / I-V Curve
Panel power output measured on solar simulator.
✓ Clicarity: Wattage and efficiency logged — below-spec panels held
04
Framing & Dispatch
3 stages
Framing
Aluminium frame fitted on laminated panel.
✓ Clicarity: Framing done only after EL and flash test pass
Junction Box Fitting & IV Test
Junction box fitted, bypass diodes connected, final IV test conducted.
✓ Clicarity: Final test result per serial number — batch cannot dispatch without pass
Dispatch
Panels dispatched with test reports, EL images, and delivery challan.
✓ Clicarity: Full panel traceability from cell lot to dispatch preserved
Where Solar Panel Manufacturers Lose Output & Quality
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
EL After Framing
EL failures discovered after framing — rework cost 4x higher
A panel assembly plant was doing EL testing after framing. EL failures required frame removal, panel repair or replacement, and re-framing — rework cost 4 times higher than catching the defect before framing. EL testing moved before framing. Rework cost reduced 60%.
Rework cost reduced 60% — EL testing moved before framing
Cell Lot
Incoming cell lot with 18% crack rate — discovered mid-production
A cell lot was partially used before a crack rate check was done. 18% of cells had micro-cracks — 240 strings had to be reworked. With Clicarity, cell inspection is a mandatory incoming stage with lot-level tracking. Defective lots are identified before any cells enter production.
Defective cell lot impact eliminated — mandatory incoming inspection enforced
Batch Hold
8 panels on EL hold — sitting for 11 days with no resolution tracking
Quality placed 8 panels on EL hold but no resolution was being tracked. Panels sat for 11 days while the customer waited for their order. With Clicarity, every hold has a responsible person and a timestamp. Average hold resolution time: 1.8 days.
Hold resolution time reduced from 11 days to 1.8 days
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""EL test failures were being found after framing — the most expensive point to rework. Now EL testing is done before framing. We catch defects when they are cheapest to fix.""

Questions from solar panel assembly businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every batch. Every test. Before the rework compounds.
