Abstract

See full text

One embodiment of the invention provides an apparatus for dispensing conductive paste on photovoltaic structures during manufacturing of a solar panel. The apparatus includes a cartridge for holding the conductive paste, a jet-dispensing module coupled to the cartridge, and a robotic arm coupled to the jet-dispensing module. The jet-dispensing module is configured to dispense a predetermined amount of the conductive paste on busbars of a respective photovoltaic structure in a non-contact manner, and the robotic arm is configured to adjust a position of the jet-dispensing module, thereby facilitating alignments between the jet-dispensing module and the busbars of the photovoltaic structure.
