The objectives for this task are to integrate and test the automated encapsulation system designed in the second year of this effort. Once the system is fully integrated, UPG will collect and analyze data from continuous production runs employing the advanced encapsulation materials and processes utilized in the manufacture of POWERGLASS modules. Representative modules encapsulated utilizing the automated station will then be submitted for qualification (NREL/TR-213-3624) testing. This task is anticipated to result in a 98% yield and a cost reduction of 60% (cumulative) in the UPG encapsulation process.
