Serial-level records for cells, laminator runs, flash tests and power bins.

Manage cell and glass receiving, stringer and layup runs, lamination, electroluminescence checks, flash testing and pallet packing in one system for solar module makers. Each serial number keeps its cell lot, ribbon lot, laminator batch and measured power. The buyer’s order is filled from the right bin. A complaint opens the list of affected modules from one serial.

  • Your module types, power bins and bills of materials keyed in during set-up
  • Running orders and cell stock entered from the files the stores keep
  • Our staff update test fields and bins whenever you ask

Incoming cell, glass and film lots, stringer and layup runs, lamination, electroluminescence checks and flash tests are all recorded in a system GullySystem configures for module makers. Every serial carries its cell lot, laminator batch and measured power. Modules are sorted into bins and listed on packing lists per buyer order.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Lot trails break at the stringer

Cells leave the store by the box and are soldered into strings, and nobody notes which lot went into which string. The link from a finished serial to its source is lost on day one.

Flash results stay on the tester

The simulator holds the power curve for each module. Copying to a sheet at shift end drops rows, and a serial then has no result to show a buyer.

Bin limits are applied by hand

Someone reads a printout to decide whether a module goes to one power class or the next. Small slips appear as claims.

Film, ribbon and flux are counted by eye

Consumables vanish at different rates on each line. A reel runs out and the stringer waits.

Press settings drift unnoticed

Temperature, pressure and cycle time are set at the laminator. A change made on one shift is not written down, so a bad batch has no recipe to compare.

Rework and scrap carry no cause

Cracked cells, bubbles and misaligned strings end in one pile. Process engineers cannot tell which station causes which fault.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Order and bill of materials

    A buyer’s order names the module type, power class and quantity. The bill of materials lists cells, glass, film, backsheet, frame and junction box for it.

  2. 2

    Receiving and stores

    Cells, glass and film are received by lot with the supplier’s certificate. Stores racks are recorded, and issue to the line follows first in, first out.

  3. 3

    Stringing and layup

    The stringer solders cells into strings, and the layup station builds the matrix. Operator, ribbon lot and cell lot are recorded for the run.

  4. 4

    Lamination and framing

    Matrices are laminated under a set recipe, trimmed, framed and fitted with a junction box. Each module receives its serial number here.

  5. 5

    Testing and sorting

    Each module gets an electroluminescence image and a flash test, both stored under its serial. The measured power puts it into a bin.

  6. 6

    Packing and dispatch

    Modules are stacked on pallets to match the buyer’s order. Every serial on the pallet is named in the paperwork that goes out.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Order and module type master

Hold each module type with its cell count, rated power range, frame, glass and junction box, and attach buyer orders to a type and bin.

Bills of materials

List cells, glass, film, ribbon, backsheet, frame and junction box per module type, with the wastage allowance used on the line.

Cell, glass and film receiving

Log each lot with efficiency class, colour grade, supplier certificate and rack. Mismatched grades are blocked from issue to a specific order.

Stringer and layup runs

Record the stringer, ribbon lot, solder temperature range and operator for each run, tied to the lots consumed.

Laminator recipes and batches

Store the approved recipe and log each batch’s actual temperature, pressure and cycle time, with a flag when a batch departs from it.

Electroluminescence and flash tests

Save the image check, power, voltage and current against the serial, and hold calibration dates for the simulator.

Power bins and labels

Place each module by its measured power, print the rating label and carton label, and keep bin counts live.

Rework and scrap register

Pull a module under a stated cause, route it for repair or scrap, and report causes by station and shift.

Consumables and reorder levels

Count film, ribbon, flux, adhesive and frames against reorder levels, and raise a purchase request when a line runs low.

Pallets and packing lists

Build pallets by serial, produce the packing list and delivery note, and keep the serial range with the buyer’s order.

Warranty trace

Open a serial and see its cell lot, laminator batch and test result, to answer a buyer’s claim from the record.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Order Management

    Buyer orders are held against a module type and power class, and the open quantity falls as pallets are packed and shipped.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each module type lists its cells, glass, film, backsheet, frame and junction box with the wastage allowance used at the stringer.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Cell, glass and film lots are logged at receiving, so a serial can later name the exact lots that went into it.

  • Production Planning

    Lamination batches are scheduled against orders, and a batch that departs from the approved recipe is flagged on the list.

  • Quality Control

    Electroluminescence images and flash results are saved per serial, and a module outside its limits is held before it reaches a bin.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Rating labels and carton labels print from each module’s measured bin, and scanning a serial confirms it before it is packed.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Film, ribbon, flux, adhesive and frames are counted against reorder levels, and an alert raises a purchase request before a reel runs out.

  • Shipping Integration for Order Fulfillment

    Pallets are built from scanned serials and the packing list and delivery note are produced from them for the buyer’s order.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Flash-test counts by bin, shift and line
  • Cell lots consumed against modules built
  • Rework and scrap by cause and station
  • Laminator batches that departed from the approved recipe
  • Consumables used against reorder levels
  • Pallet contents by buyer order
  • Serials by cell lot, for a warranty claim
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Makers of crystalline silicon modules with a stringer and laminator line
  • Half-cut and shingled cell module assemblers
  • Plants that supply modules to installers and project developers
  • Makers of small-format modules for lanterns and chargers
  • Contract module assemblers who build to a buyer’s bill of materials
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A cell maker with wafer, diffusion and printing lines needs process control far beyond what this covers.
  • Firms that only install and sell modules will find Solar Installation Management Software closer.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

How does a serial link back to its cells?

The stringer run records which cell lot and ribbon lot it used. Lamination links that run to a module, so the serial opens to the exact lots behind it.

Can it store flash test results?

Yes. Power, voltage, current and the check image are saved against each serial, with the date and the simulator’s reference module noted.

How are power bins applied?

Bin limits for each module type are set with your test engineer. The measured power then places the module, and the label prints from that bin.

Does it cover half-cut cell modules?

Yes. The module type holds its cell count and layout, so half-cut, full-cell and shingled types each get their own bill of materials.

Can we compare laminator batches?

Each batch logs the actual temperature, pressure and cycle time against the approved recipe. A departure shows on the batch list.

What happens to a rejected module?

It is pulled under a cause such as cracked cell or lamination bubble. It then goes to repair or scrap, and the cause feeds the station report.

Can a buyer’s audit pack be produced?

Partly. A serial report shows lots, runs and test results. Whether it satisfies a given buyer’s audit is a matter for your quality staff to confirm.

Can the packing list name serials?

Yes. Pallets are built from scanned serials, and the list printed for the buyer shows each one beside its measured power.

Who owns the production records?

You do. Serial lists and flash-test results export in a format we set out in the proposal, ahead of any build.

How do we see it before committing?

A demo is run on a dummy module type and bin set you give us. A written proposal follows, since cost depends on line count and test stations.
