Gautam Solar, a solar module manufacturer, has achieved a milestone by securing
a patent from the Office of the Controller General of Patents for its innovative
solar panel bussing tool. This achievement is poised to revolutionise the solar
module manufacturing industry in India.
The patent attests to the ingenuity of the tool’s design, reinforcing Gautam Solar’s
commitment to transforming the solar manufacturing landscape. Currently, the
Indian solar module manufacturing sector heavily relies on imported Chinese
machinery for its production processes.
With this patent, Gautam Solar stands as the sole solar manufacturer in India to
have localised production technology essential for crafting solar modules. The
advantages it offers are manifold, promising to enhance the yield and efficiency of
solar panels while delivering several industry-disrupting benefits.
Some of the key advantages of this innovative tool include: Substantial Reduction
in Manual Labour; Doubled Production Capacity; Cost-Effective Alternative;
Enhanced Panel Lifespan; and Error Reduction.
The solar panel bussing tool is engineered to operate seamlessly within a
temperature range spanning from 300°C to 450°C, offering precise control for
soldering in harmony with the specific requirements of solar panel assembly. It
features a unique junction configuration that facilitates even thermal energy
distribution, reducing stress on solar cells. Furthermore, the inclusion of a
thermocouple probe enables precise temperature control.
Gautam Mohanka, CEO of Gautam Solar, emphasised its far-reaching impact on
the industry and highlighted the company’s role as a pioneering force in the solar
sector.
